## What NEXT Does NEXT predicts your next edit, not just the next line of text. It analyzes your entire project context — types, imports, function signatures, naming conventions — to understand what you’re trying to do. This means it can suggest: - Full function bodies after you type the signature - Multi-line refactors (rename a variable → it updates callers across files) - Auto-imports for dependencies you haven’t added yet * * * ## How to Use It NEXT runs automatically as you type. When a grey suggestion appears: Pro tip: ⌥P is especially useful when you’ve paused mid-thought. It basically asks NEXT “what would you do next here?” * * * ## 3 Things You Might Not Know 1. It predicts intent, not just syntax. 2. Auto-import happens silently. 3. Project structure matters. NEXT reads the whole project, so clean, consistent codebases get noticeably better predictions. If suggestions feel weak, the code around you might be inconsistent. Worth checking. * * * ## Quick Start Open any file, type a function signature (or start a refactor), and pause. Watch what NEXT suggests. Try ⌥P if nothing appears automatically. 📚 Full docs: [NEXT Code Suggestion - Qoder](https://docs.qoder.com/user-guide/next-edit-suggestion) What’s your favorite use case for NEXT? Let us know below
