IDE extension settings and commands

Reference for every CodeRabbit IDE extension setting and Command Palette command in VS Code, Cursor, and other editors, generated from the published extension, with notes on Restricted Mode and keyboard shortcuts.

This reference lists every setting and command of the extension. It is generated from CodeRabbit extension 0.26.1. See the release notes for what changed in each version. For the CodeRabbit configuration that shapes a review, such as .coderabbit.yaml, see Which review configuration applies.

​

Open the settings

Select the gear icon on the Review view title bar, or run CodeRabbit: Settings from the Command Palette. Both open your editor’s Settings filtered to the CodeRabbit extension.

You can set most settings for your user or for a single workspace. The Scope line of each entry in the settings reference says where a setting can go. To edit settings.json directly, add the keys like this:

settings.json

{
  "coderabbit.autoReviewMode": "auto",
  "coderabbit.agentType": "Claude Code"
}

​

Settings by task

Each of these pages explains when to change a setting and what it does:

• coderabbit.autoReviewMode: Review automatically after each commit
• coderabbit.agentType and coderabbit.autoStartTask: Fix findings with your AI agent
• coderabbit.accountRegion: Use an EU-hosted account
• coderabbit.respectGitIgnore: What gets reviewed
• coderabbit.completionNotifications and coderabbit.reviewCompletionSound: Get notified when a review finishes
• coderabbit.selfHostedUrl: Use the IDE extension with self-hosted CodeRabbit
• coderabbit.region: deprecated; the extension moves its value to coderabbit.accountRegion at startup.

​

Restricted Mode

When you open a workspace you haven’t trusted, the extension runs in Restricted Mode.

In Restricted Mode, the extension uses CodeRabbit Cloud even if a self-hosted URL is set, runs no Git commands of its own, and doesn’t offer CLI setup. Fix with AI ignores workspace values of the agent and auto-start settings and uses your user settings.

Ignored workspace settings: coderabbit.agentType, coderabbit.autoStartTask.

Trust the workspace to lift these limits.

Settings reference

​

coderabbit.accountRegion

Choose the region where your CodeRabbit account is hosted. Match the website you use to sign in. Changing this setting connects the extension to that region; it does not move your account.

• Type: string
• Default: us
• Scope: User, remote, and workspace settings
• Allowed values:
  • us: For accounts using app.coderabbit.ai. Labeled US (default) in the Settings editor.
  • eu: For accounts using app.eu.coderabbit.ai. Labeled EU in the Settings editor.

​

coderabbit.agentType

The AI agent to use for ‘Fix with AI’ functionality.

• Type: string
• Default: Native
• Scope: User, remote, and workspace settings
• Untrusted workspaces: workspace values are ignored and only your user setting applies
• Allowed values:
  • Native: Use built-in AI agent (default). Falls back to Clipboard if not available.
  • Claude Code: Use Claude Code in terminal
  • Claude Code Extension: Use Claude Code VSCode Extension (requires the Claude Code extension)
  • Codex CLI: Use Codex CLI in terminal
  • Clipboard: Copy instructions to clipboard
  • Cline: Use Cline (requires the Cline extension)
  • Roo: Use Roo (requires the Roo Code extension)
  • Kilo Code: Use Kilo Code (requires the Kilo Code extension)
  • Augment Code: Use Augment Code (requires the Augment Code extension)
  • opencode: Use opencode in terminal

​

coderabbit.autoReviewMode

Whether to review your committed changes after each commit.

• Type: string
• Default: prompt
• Scope: User, remote, and workspace settings
• Allowed values:
  • disabled: Don’t offer a review after commits
  • prompt: Ask whether to review your committed changes after each commit (default)
  • auto: Start reviewing your committed changes after each commit, with a 10-second countdown to cancel

​

coderabbit.autoStartTask

Send Fix with AI prompts right away in the built-in AI agent in VS Code, Cline, Roo, and Kilo Code. When disabled, the prompt is pasted into the agent’s chat input for you to review and send. Other agents aren’t affected.

• Type: boolean
• Default: true
• Scope: User, remote, and workspace settings
• Untrusted workspaces: workspace values are ignored and only your user setting applies

​

coderabbit.completionNotifications

Request a macOS Notification Center status alert on local desktop sessions when a CodeRabbit review completes or fails. Successful reviews also show an IDE notification with Show Review. Other platforms and remote/web sessions use the IDE notification. macOS notification permissions and Focus settings control OS alert visibility.

• Type: boolean
• Default: false
• Scope: Local user settings only

​

coderabbit.respectGitIgnore

Exclude ignored untracked files supplied by Git from local reviews. Tracked and staged files remain eligible even if they match ignore rules. Disabling this does not discover ignored files omitted by Git. Built-in file exclusions still apply.

• Type: boolean
• Default: true
• Scope: User, remote, workspace, and folder settings

​

coderabbit.reviewCompletionSound

Play a short sound when a review completes. Requires the CodeRabbit panel to have been opened in this window. Playback depends on your editor’s audio permissions and system volume; blocked sounds are skipped.

• Type: boolean
• Default: false
• Scope: Local user settings only

​

coderabbit.selfHostedUrl

URL of your self-hosted CodeRabbit instance, for example https://coderabbit.yourcompany.com. When set, the extension connects to this instance instead of CodeRabbit Cloud. Self-hosted sign-in uses your Git email and, for GitHub, a personal access token instead of a CodeRabbit account. Ignored in Restricted Mode.

• Type: string
• Default: None
• Scope: Local user settings only

​

coderabbit.region

Deprecated. Use coderabbit.accountRegion instead. Your saved region still applies until you set Account region.

• Type: string
• Default: us
• Scope: User, remote, and workspace settings
• Allowed values:
  • us
  • eu

The actions on a CodeRabbit comment thread, such as Ignore, Fix with AI, and Provide feedback, aren’t in the Command Palette. Use them from the thread’s title bar; see Act on a finding.

The extension has no default keyboard shortcuts. To add one, open Keyboard Shortcuts and bind a command ID from the table, for example coderabbit-vscode.initiateReview for CodeRabbit: Start Review.
