# Code Actions

## Summary

Code actions are contextual operations that can be used either in JetBrains or VS Code plugins to trigger an action in the scope of a method or function.

Those actions include:

* Editing code with prompt.
* Replacing or generating code. 
* Replacing or generating documentation. 
* Fixing code syntax.

### Using Code Actions in Visual Studio Code

The Code Actions are available per function or method code as quick-fix actions that can be either accessed by clicking on the light bulb icon or by pressing the "show quick fixes" keyboard shortcut (⌘CMD + .(dot) on macOS).
