How to run in debug feature mode ?

[Purav-Shah]

After pressing ctrl+h and ctrl+enter you’ll get some result which won’t be accurate so again press ctrl+h and ctrl+enter which takes the software into debug mode

there are options like python, java, R, etc. Can't you just add another option like MCQ or English? I think that would be much easier that any other approach.

I made it in a hurry, though i’ll give it a try.

Dude it works good but note that for Gemini models, 1.0-Pro has been deprecated. So, in the app only Gemini-2.0-Flash is available. it's great for code generation and stuff, but the debugging isn't that great. So, I guess we need to change the gemini models. Also, instead of categorizing like code,mcq,general ; why not make it automatic, without the user selecting everytime?

[Purav-Shah]

Thanks for the feedback. For now I have kept it as selecting the mode as when its kept as automatic the model always hallucinate it as a code So for simplicity and ease of use I've done it that way.

Hi @Purav-Shah, thanks for adding support for MCQs. Generally, in OAs there are mix of MCQs and coding questions. So, switching the mode between MCQ and coding in an on-going OA won't be possible as the click will cause a focus loss from test window. I was wondering, can we add a shortcut key to toggle between modes? For example, Ctrl + t to switch among MCQ, coding and general modes. In this case we don't have to make a click on our electron window.
