# Vezz me for Software Developers: understand docs, PRs, and errors without tab switching.

Built for engineers who live in the browser alongside their IDE. Highlight API docs, GitHub diffs, CI logs, regexes, or RFCs and press your custom shortcut (default: Ctrl+Shift+X) for instant on-screen technical answers.

> **Best fit:** Best for software engineers, DevOps leads, and technical architects who want a keyboard-first, zero-bloat AI layer in Chrome and Firefox.

## Step-by-step workflow

1. **Trigger with 100% keyboard muscle memory**: Select text or code, press your shortcut (default: Ctrl+Shift+X or Cmd+Shift+X, fully customizable to your favorite key combo), read the answer, and press Escape or keep scrolling.
2. **Load the Senior Engineer prompt preset**: Skip beginner fluff—configure Vezz me to focus on runtime behavior, concurrency edge cases, and time/space complexity.
3. **Control your context boundary**: Use Detailed context on public docs and Minimal context when checking a single regex or SQL snippet on internal tools.

## Why developers uninstall bloated AI sidebars

Most AI Chrome extensions try to inject rewrite buttons into every textarea, pop up floating icons whenever you select a line of code to copy, and eat 400px of viewport width.

- Vezz me never injects floating buttons on text selection—it runs strictly when you press your shortcut
- Compact on-screen panel rendered with monospace code support (`JetBrains Mono`) and customizable dark/light colors
- Available on both Chrome and Firefox with open, inspectable permission boundaries

## 4 daily engineering loops in the browser

Where Vezz me saves 30+ context switches a week.

- Unpacking unfamiliar SDKs, cloud pricing formulas, and RFC specifications
- Reviewing GitHub pull requests and summarizing 80-comment issue workarounds
- Decoding regular expressions, SQL window functions, and CSP/IAM policies
- Translating CI/CD build errors and stack traces into concrete fixes

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I customize the panel to use a dark theme and monospace font?

Yes. In the Vezz me extension settings, you can set custom background/text/border hex colors, opacity, border radius, and font family so the overlay matches your terminal or IDE theme.

### Does Vezz me work in Firefox Developer Edition?

Yes. Vezz me is available on both Chrome Web Store and Mozilla Firefox Add-ons.
