Lingma automatically vectorizes your local project and creates an index for your codebase when you open a project. This provides deep, AI-driven awareness of your codebase and allows for the efficient retrieval of the current code file and cross-file context. The indexing process is incremental, which means new or modified files are processed in real time without manual intervention.
This feature is available only for the Lingma IDE and JetBrains IDE plugins. It is not supported in Visual Studio Code.
Configure indexing
In the upper-right corner of the Lingma IDE, click the user icon or use the keyboard shortcut (

Select one of the following options:
To manually enable indexing, click Create next to Codebase Indexing.
