Kilo Code JetBrains 7.0.15: automatic editor context in prompts
The JetBrains plugin now sends editor context — active file, open and visible files, selected text, and shell context — along with prompts, surfaced in the message as clickable attachments. A new JetBrains Context setting turns the automatic collection off if you don't want that content sent.
