Gemini Code Assist on IntelliJ bugs & feature requests

I found several bugs in the plugin:

  1. https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WEB-74607/Moving-text-with-dragging-results-in-the-wrong-text-output
  2. Occasionally fails to edit files:

  3. On Windows, some keyboard shortcuts aren’t handled properly
    For example:
    • Ctrl+Home/Ctrl+End are completely ignored
      Instead, if I want to get back to the first/last line, I have to hold down Page Up / Page Down respectively
    • Pressing Ctrl+Z gets captured by WebStorm instead, i.e., attempts to restore the file to the last state, instead of undoing whatever textual edit to the Gemini Code Assist text box
  4. Some icons are too big

  5. Sometimes, after the computer wakes up from sleep and I return to the Gemini Code Assist panel, it’s bugged up (cannot @ files, submitting a prompt will make Gemini infinitely think, etc)
    Only after I fully restart WebStorm (which unfortunately involves killing all of the WebStorm processes), do I discover that the reason for it being stuck is that it requires reauthentication

Feature requests:

  1. Ability to submit feedback directly from the plugin
  2. View API usage directly in the plugin UI (similar to Cline/Roo Code so I don’t overshoot and get charged
  3. Similar to the plugins mentioned in 2, selectively turn on and off MCP servers in a GUI instead of directly editing the JSON in the MCP setting
  4. Not really a feature, but rather open source Gemini Code Assist’s IntelliJ plugin, which is the only agentic coder that works remotely close to Cline/Roo Code
