Configuration

The plugin can be configured by clicking the plugin button in the Chrome toolbar. It requires inserting an API key from OpenAI. You also need to choose which tools you wish to enable.

Usage

These are the tools that are currently available:

Auto-complete

Select a text and press Alt+c to trigger the auto-complete tool.

Improve

Select a text and press Alt+i to trigger the improvement tool. The original text will be commented out and the improved text will be inserted below it.

Ask

Select a text and press Alt+a to trigger the ask tool. The original text will be deleted and the answer will be inserted in its place.

For example: "Create a table 4x3 that the first row is bold face" will be replaced with, e.g.,:

\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|}
\hline
\textbf{Column 1} & \textbf{Column 2} & \textbf{Column 3}\\
\hline
Entry 1 & Entry 2 & Entry 3\\
\hline
Entry 4 & Entry 5 & Entry 6\\
\hline
Entry 7 & Entry 8 & Entry 9\\
\hline
\end{tabular}

You can then, for example:

1. Write before the table: Place the following tabular inside a table environment, center it, and give the following title: "The comparison of the three approaches"
2. Select the sentence and the table
3. Press Alt+a to trigger the ask tool.

The result will be:

\begin{table}[h]
\centering
\caption{The comparison of the three approaches}
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|}
\hline
\textbf{Column 1} & \textbf{Column 2} & \textbf{Column 3}\\
\hline
Entry 1 & Entry 2 & Entry 3\\
\hline
Entry 4 & Entry 5 & Entry 6\\
\hline
Entry 7 & Entry 8 & Entry 9\\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
