‘Active Tabs’ are added to the chat window context by default, many users have described this as a hinderence and annoyance and want the ability to toggle this off.
As mentioned in the other thread, the problem is that it confuses the model when it attaches references that don’t have anything to do with your request. Me and many others delete this reference often or always, and this adds an extra annoying step to almost all our chat interactions.
However, in a new chat, if you ask it what context it has it will tell you that it is aware of what files are open, uncommitted changes, what line your cursor is on and what file is currently active, so even though active tab is no longer automatically added, it doesn’t mean it is not aware of the file you are currently in. When giving a request about making a change, it assumes it is in the current file unless otherwise noted.
