Hello, when I press enter to move to the bottom line on the chat screen, it sends the message automatically. I have to do this with ctrl+ enter. However, I sometimes forget to do this and it is obviously tiring to do it every time.

How can I prevent what I write in the chat from going when enter is pressed?

and

What is the difference between EDIT and CHAT on the chat screen?

Hello! 

Unfortunately, there is no such option at the moment. However, there is a public feature request you can follow and upvote here: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/LLM-14301/Allow-to-configure-behavior-of-Enter-and-ShiftEnter-while-writing-an-AI-prompt-in-chat
Please upvote the feature request. Upvotes help our product team prioritize future development.

Regarding your second question:

  • Chat mode is designed for free-form conversations with the AI Assistant, similar to a regular chat. You can ask questions, request explanations, or get help with ideas.
  • Edit mode is focused on generating code and applying changes directly to your files in one click. It can even apply changes across multiple files when needed.

In short, Chat is more about discussions and exploration, while Edit is intended for targeted code transformations.
