Restart Language Server (equivalent to VS Code's "Restart TS Server")

• Command Palette: ⌘ Shift P → type language server: restart
  • Restarts all running language servers.
  • Optionally scoped to just the language server for the current file.
• Status Bar: Click the language server icon (bottom right) → restart individual servers from the menu.
• Keybinding: No default keybinding, but you can add one in keymap.json:

{
  "context": "Editor",
  "bindings": {
    "cmd-k t": "language_server::Restart"
  }
}

Agent Chat — Add Selected Code as Context

• Default shortcut: ⌘ > — select code, hit this, and it adds the highlighted code (including file path + line numbers) into the agent chat panel as context.
  • Works even if the agent panel isn't open yet — it'll open automatically.
• Command Palette: ⌘ Shift P → type agent: add selection
• Right-click the selection → Add Selection to Agent (context menu).
• Inline references: In the agent chat panel, type @ to quickly reference files, symbols, or the current selection without leaving the chat.
