magenta.nvim is a plugin for leveraging LLM agents in neovim. It provides a chat window where you can talk to your AI coding assistant, as well as tools to populate context and perform inline edits. In functionality, it's similar to cursor-compose, cody or windsurf.

Rather than writing complex code to compress your repo and send it to the LLM (like a repomap in aider, etc...), magenta is built around the idea that the AI agent can choose which context to gather via tools.

Flagship models will continue to get better at tools use, and as this happens, the gap between tools like magenta and other editors that try to be clever about context management will grow smaller.

Inline edit uses your chat history so far, so a great workflow is to build up context in the chat panel, and then use it to perform inline edits in a buffer.

The display buffer is not modifiable, however you can interact with some parts of the display buffer by pressing <CR>. For example, you can expand the tool request and responses to see their details, and you can trigger a diff to appear on file edits.
