Copilot’s Next Edit Suggestion Available in JetBrains Preview

Next Edit Suggestions (NES) is now available in public preview for JetBrains IDEs. With NES, Copilot extends its capabilities to editing existing code, proactively suggesting improvements and refinements as you work, enhancing coding efficiency and helping maintain cleaner, more consistent codebases.

NES identifies opportunities to improve, update, or fix existing code as you work. Inline edit indicators automatically appear, showing available suggestions. Simply hover over the suggested text to view details, preview changes, and apply them directly.

Suggestions adapt to your needs, ranging from single symbols to multiple lines. Whether catching typos, adjusting logic, refactoring code, or propagating variable name changes, NES understands your edits and offers intelligent follow-up improvements without manual file searching.
