Issue Command
User ctrl-clicks on selected text and a new command ‘Ask AI’, menu appears at the very top of the list:
This menu has sub items, as listed here (subject to editing):
- ‘What is this’ (W)

- ‘What does this relate to’ (R)
- ‘Show me counter examples’ (C)
- ‘Is this correct?’ (I)
- ‘Explain the concept of (E)’

Clicking [+] produces this dialog, same as clicking [Edit] for a current command:
