Collaboration
Name tags, comments in the code and suggested changes
See who each cursor belongs to, read comment threads right under the lines they're about, suggest a change someone can apply in one click, and react or reply in chat.
Name tags on cursors
Every teammate's cursor carries their name in their colour, like in VS Code. In Editor settings → Teammates' name tags choose Always, While typing (the tag shows while they type, then fades) or Hover (no tag; point at the cursor to see who it is). KODEO for VS Code follows the same setting.
Comments in the code
An open comment thread shows as a small card under the line it's about — who wrote it, the start of the comment, how many replies. Click it to open the thread in the Comments panel. Turn the cards off in Editor settings → Comments in the code; the line stays highlighted and the margin icon stays.
Suggesting a change
When you comment on a selection, tick Suggest a change and edit the text. The thread then shows a diff of what you'd change. Anyone who can edit the file can Apply it: the lines are replaced (in the live session, so it shows for everyone at once), the thread says who applied it, and whoever suggested it gets a notification. The file has to be open to apply one. If those lines have changed since the suggestion was made, nothing is applied — KODEO says so, and you make the change by hand or ask for a new suggestion.
Reactions and replies
React to a comment or a chat message with 👍 ❤️ 👀 🚀 ✅ or 😄. In chat, Reply quotes the message you're answering — click the quote to jump to it.
Chat understands a little formatting: wrap code in three backticks for a coloured block, or one backtick for inline code. Write a file and line like src/app.ts:42 and it becomes a link that opens that line — only for files that exist in the project. When you open the chat, a New line marks where the messages you haven't read start.
