Ghost typing

Get an optional inline completion while typing, and accept it with a key when the suggestion is visible.

Ghost typing offers a short continuation at your cursor after a pause. It is available on Mac and Windows, and is off by default.

Turn it on

Open Settings → Agent → Ghost typing.
Turn on Ghost typing.
Choose the accept key available on your platform, if you want to change it.
Type in a supported app and pause. A suggestion appears in grey; press the accept key to insert it. Keep typing or move on to ignore it.

The default accept key is Control + F on Mac and Tab on Windows. When no suggestion is visible, the key keeps its normal behavior.

What Nock reads and sends

After you pause, Nock reads nearby text around the cursor to prepare a completion. That context is sent to the configured model/provider and a suggested continuation comes back. Ghost typing does not send typing context while it is off. Avoid enabling it in documents or fields whose contents should not be sent for model processing.

Nock skips password and other protected fields, selected text, its own windows, and—on Windows—apps running as administrator. Some editors do not expose caret context, so no suggestion may appear. Suggestions are intended for an empty remainder of the current line, not arbitrary rewrites in the middle of text.

Troubleshooting

Confirm Ghost typing is on and an account or provider key is configured for model requests.
Try a basic text field such as Notepad on Windows or TextEdit on Mac. Support depends on the app exposing the caret and nearby text.
On Windows, run the target app at the same privilege level as Nock; elevated apps are skipped.
If Tab or Control + F is intercepted by another feature, change the accept key in Settings.
