Is there a way to get "MS Word"-esque corrections from copilot?


Right now every single implementation of copilot-like functionality offers line completions and longer panel completions. This is fine, but it occurred to me that what I really need is corrections, so that I can roughly approximate the exact syntax details of common APIs and be confident that my copilot will/can correct them for me.

By "MS Word"-esque, I'm exclusively referring to the ability right-click problem words/phrases and see a dropdown of suggested fixes.

I couldn't find anything on Kagi or Google, but I did give up pretty early in favor of groupthink. Y'all have any faves, or similar features? I'm currently using MS Copilot through Sublime Text, but I might be open to change for this feature.

In VS Code when the linter finds something it underlines it, much like Word. Clicking the line brings up the issue and has a Quick Fix option, which then goes to Copilot. In practice, I never use the Quick Fix option.
