NES: An Instruction-Free, Low-Latency Next Edit Suggestion Framework Powered by Learned Historical Editing Trajectories

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2508.02473v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Code editing is a frequent yet cognitively demanding task in software development. Existing AI-powered tools often disrupt developer flow by requiring explicit natural language instructions and suffer from high latency, limiting real-world usability. We present NES (Next Edit Suggestion), an instruction-free, low-latency code editing framework that leverages learned historical editing trajectories to implicitly capture developers' goals and coding habits.
