Quick actions on a selection

Lectura de 4 min

No need to open the Coach chat or type — select text, click a button. SelectionMenu puts the four most-used AI actions right next to your cursor.

Slima Writing Studio editor as a visual reference: left file tree / centre editor with format toolbar / right Notes panel

How to trigger

Select text (any length) in the editor → hover for ~0.3 sec → floating menu appears next to the selection:

Button Action
Rewrite Different wording, same meaning
Polish Keep meaning, fix grammar / phrasing
Expand Add detail to the existing passage
Shorten Same point, fewer words
⋯ More Open the full SelectionMenu

Click → AI shows options in place (doesn't overwrite immediately).

The four actions

Rewrite

"Same meaning, different wording" — for when you don't like the phrasing but the content's right.

Original: "He stepped into the room and saw a letter on the table."
Rewrite: "He entered the room; the letter on the table caught his eye."

Polish

"Keep the sentence structure, just fix grammar / word choice" — for sentences that are mostly right with one or two off bits.

Original: "He walked into in the room and saw there a letter."
Polish: "He walked into the room and saw a letter."

Expand

"Add detail, senses, interiority" — for thin passages that need more body.

Original: "He opened the letter."
Expand: "He slowly drew the letter from its envelope, the paper slightly curled from sea damp; his fingers paused on the fold before unfolding it."

Shorten

"Keep the point, cut filler / redundant description" — for bloated paragraphs.

Cost

Quick actions are "small AI operations" — lower credit cost than a full chat.

For short passages (< 200 words), a quick action typically costs ~⅓ of a chat message.
