CodeGPT Sublime Text Plugin

Question

I recently developed a ChatGPT plugin for Sublime Text, which is designed to enhance the coding experience by enabling users to directly send snippets of code along with specific questions to ChatGPT. This integration aims to provide quick and intelligent responses, facilitating smoother coding workflows.

However I am encountering display issues in Sublime Text where the formatting of ChatGPT's responses is not rendered correctly.

class SendToGptCommand(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):
    def run(self, edit):
        # Capture the selected text
        self.selected_text = ''
        for region in self.view.sel():
            if not region.empty():
                self.selected_text = self.view.substr(region)
        
        # Prompt the user for additional input
        self.view.window().show_input_panel("Enter your question:", "", self.on_done, None, None)

    def on_done(self, user_input):
        code = textwrap.dedent(self.selected_text)

        # Combine the user's question with the selected text
        data = {
            'code': code,

This is what the response should look like.

    content = f"""Response:\n{result}\n\n"""
    new_view.run_command('insert', {'characters': content})

Response:
Sure, please provide the code that you would like to test.

Im not sure why there are all these extra spaces/tabs.

Thanks for the help.

Answer 1

Use 'append' instead of 'insert' or turn auto indentation off: new_view.settings().set('auto_indent', False)
