## Background We will be launching AI assisted code suggestions as a pre-installed extension in the GitLab web IDE in May. This issue is part of an [epic](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/10110) for the UX portion of this project. ## Background for this issue We have an icon in the status bar that shows the various states of code suggestions (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-web-ide/-/issues/132). The icons we use in the status bar appear here:  The icons of the different status are as follows: | Image | Description | | ------ | ------ | |  | Enabled | |  | Disabled | |  | Error (e.g. code suggestions down) | ## Problem to solve We have received feedback that it can be difficult to tell if there is a code suggestion loading as one is typing. Even though code suggestion is enabled, it is not clear if it is currently retrieving a suggestion. ## Suggested solution * Add an additional icon to display the status when a code suggestion is loading. * When the suggestion has loaded, the icon goes back to the normal/enabled state Icon to add: | Image | Description | | ------ | ------ | |  | Icon to indicate that there is code suggestion loading | Gif:  [Figma file](https://www.figma.com/file/n8e5S9eGCDKy9n15q68l4M/Code-Suggestions?node-id=185%3A290&t=yFEy3AaT9IuVAKz9-1)
