As a user I want to have a simple understanding how to setup a plugin to not waste my time on guessing.

In continuation, to our discussion at plugins.jetbrains.com. Yes, it is a second time when I try to install and use a plugin. The previous time I just deleted it and used chat.openai.com. The second time I am really asking myself why I am waisting so much time on a straightforward setup.

2. Why should I use 'online chat gpt' if I already have 'chat gpt'? Or I should use either of them? Is it hard to put a simple explanation to docs?

In the early days, only Online Chat GPT supported code highlighting and supported conversation manager, so. Users who need to use the conversation manager feature have been using Online ChatGPT, otherwise they can use ChatGPT Tab. Other Tabs have only recently supported conversation manager.

Ok, so why do we need an Online Chat GPT feature now, if it is accessible from a ChatGPT Tab? I can understand a need to auth via web interface with login and password, but that feature should be orthogonal to chat gpt tab itself.

3. Easy code works with 3.5, why separate tab for 3.5?

EasyCode Tab only temporarily supports gpt-3.5-turbo. other features are still planned.

Ok, why I need ChatGPT, if I have GPT 3.5 Turbo, which allows me to choose a gpt version? Is it again about auth schema, about using access token vs. API key?

4. Why 3.5 tab allows to use gpt-4? Did I musunderstood something or it is a plugin inconsistency?

GPT-3.5-Turbo Tab stands strictly for the form accessible through the API. So if your account supports gpt-4, then you can use gpt-4, otherwise you can only use gpt-3.5.

But by the naming I was sure it should allow only 3.5 version. So the naming is incorrect. Also that is not about chat gpt version at all, that is about an access type, so auth, which should be again orthogonal to tabs. Even that is hard to implement a separate auth layer, write in the docs, that as a user I need to choose one of the tabs according to my use case - online - if I want to auth via login/pass, chat gpt - for token auth, EasyCode - if I want proceed with no auth and do not need an access to my previous chats.

Please, fix this, so I could review my negative feedback and write a positive one.

There are many changes associated with this. We will make appropriate adjustments in a later version according to our plans.
