Focus is the part of your code that your conversation in Chat centers around. It could be an entire file or just a few lines of code.
Current File Focus uses the current file you're working on.
Qodo Gen automatically sets your currently opened file as Focus. You can also choose your Focus manually by typing @ or clicking on @, and selecting Current File.
When choosing Current File Focus, you have to choose a Secondary Focus option. The Secondary Focus refines the context for Chat's responses.
When using Current File Focus, there are two options for Secondary Focus:
Selected Lines: Manually select lines in your code to set as the focus for your request.
Component: Select specific code components from the bottom right part of the chatbox. The components consist of functions, methods and classes automatically detected from the current file.
Add Focus: Type @ or click on @, and select Current File.
Choose Secondary Focus: From the dropdown list on the bottom right on the chatbox, choose between Selected Lines or Component based on your requirement.
Execute a Command: Type in your desired command (/ask, /docstring, etc) followed by your question or request.
