Continue Newsletter: December 2024 Updates

Continue Updates

📝 Introducing multi-file Edit! Use cmd+I or cmd+shift+I to select multiple files at a time and iterate on them all at once, from the same sidebar as Chat

✨ Chat got a makeover: links to code symbols, a “sticky” chat input box, autodetected documentation suggestions, a much improved UI for downloading them, and lots more

🧠 Autocomplete is much smarter! Continue will see your recent changes via Git, your copy buffer if relevant, and a much larger range of relevant code definitions in many languages

📢 You can create a project-specific system message by adding a .continuerules file to the root of your project

🛠️ Tool use is here! When using Anthropic models, Continue will be able to automatically read/write files, run terminal commands (which you approve), search the web, etc.
