🤖 OpenAI Based Code Editor by CevAPI

A powerful code editor that uses OpenAI's latest models for intelligent code editing, AI chat assistance, and comprehensive development tools.

✨ Features

• AI-Powered Code Editing: Intelligent code modifications using OpenAI models
• Multi-Model Support: GPT-4, GPT-5, O3 series, and more
• File History Management: Complete version tracking with revert capabilities
• Tabbed Interface: Code editing, AI chat, and debug console
• Context-Aware Chat: AI remembers conversation history for continuity
• Live Cost Tracking: Real-time token usage and cost estimation
• Debug Console: Monitor API calls, requests, and system events

🤔Why Does This Exist?

This editor is designed as a lightweight, focused way to use your OpenAI API key for coding tasks. Instead of being tied to subscription-based IDEs like Cursor or complex setups in VS Code, you can plug in your own API key and immediately get AI-powered code assistance. It’s not a replacement for a full IDE, but a fast, cost-flexible tool: you only pay for the API usage you actually consume, making it a great option for rapid prototyping, learning new languages, or experimenting with AI-assisted coding without long-term commitments or extra subscriptions.

🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8+
• OpenAI API key
• Internet connection

Installation

git clone https://github.com/cev-api/ai-code-editor.git
cd ai-code-editor
pip install openai>=1.0.0
python code_editor.py

First Time Setup

1. Enter your OpenAI API key
2. Select your preferred model
3. Click "Save Config"
4. Select a folder to start working

🎮 Usage

Code Editing

1. Open a file in the editor
2. Type your request in the AI Prompt area
3. Press Enter or click "Edit Code"
4. AI modifies your code based on instructions

AI Chat

1. Switch to "AI Chat" tab
2. Type your question or request
3. Check "Include file context" if needed
4. Press Enter to send

File Management

• Use "Select Folder" to choose project directory
• Right-click files or use "History" button for version control
• Files are automatically tracked in version history

⚙️ Configuration

Parameter	Description	Range	Default
Temperature	Controls randomness	0.0 - 2.0	1.0
Max Tokens	Token limit for responses	100 - 8000	4000
Conversation Memory	Messages to retain	5 - 100+	10

Supported Models

• GPT-5: gpt-5 (uses max_completion_tokens)
• GPT-4 Series: gpt-4, gpt-4.1, gpt-4.1-mini, gpt-4.1-nano
• O3 Series: o3-pro, o3-mini, o3-mini-high
• Legacy: gpt-3.5-turbo

File Types

.py, .js, .ts, .html, .css, .java, .cpp, .c, .h, .json, .xml, .md, .txt, .ino

💡 Pro Tips

• Cost Optimization: Use lower temperature (0.0-0.5) for precise editing, higher (1.0-2.0) for creativity
• Token Usage: Uncheck file context for general questions, lower conversation memory for cost-conscious usage
• Workflow: Start with chat to discuss approach, use file context only when needed
• Keyboard: Shift+Enter for multi-line input, Enter to send/submit

🔧 Troubleshooting

Issue	Solution
API Key Error	Verify API key is valid and has credits
Model Errors	Check if model is available in your account
High Token Usage	Reduce conversation memory or file context inclusion
Performance Issues	Check debug console for error logs
