Code snippets & ghost suggest (Cursor-style)

ACE helps you write faster with two layers:

1. Local (offline, instant)

Snippets: type html, rfc, fastapi… → Tab inserts a template
Keywords: CSS props (display, flex…), JS APIs (console.log, useState…), Java/Python/PHP commons → popup as you type

Gray ghost text appears at the cursor after you pause (~0.7s) or press Ctrl/Cmd+Alt+.
Press Tab to accept.

Uses the generate API only (not Agent chat / Ask mode), so you should not see JSON plans or “switch to Agent” messages.

Toggle: Settings → Agents & AI → Ghost suggest.

Restart ACE (cd desktop-ide && npm start)
Local: new style.css → type dis → pick display
Local snippet: new index.html → type html → Tab
Ghost: in greet.js type function greet( → wait or Ctrl+Alt+. → gray text should continue the function → Tab
