@dansto our of interest, can you please provide more detail about what the ‘context’ issue is?
I am using the ‘Composer’ (’Ctrl’ + ’I’) feature like this and I don’t find myself doing any copy/pasting.
I just press ’Ctrl’ + ’I’ , enter my prompt, watch multiple folders and files be generated (or edited) right before my eyes, and then either click ‘Accept All’ to accept all the file edits, or click on each files suggested edits tab and ‘Accept’ the edits one file at a time.
If I want to give my ‘Composer’ prompt one or more files for context, I just press hash and enter the file name.
I am pretty sure Aider does a similar thing to pass files through as context?
I.e, in Aider you just enter the ‘file’ keyword and specify the file names?
I’m also interested to know more about what the ‘API issue’ is.
I don’t doubt your experience and think any issues, once resolved, will make a better product for all, but I just wanted to make sure you weren’t perhaps missing exisiting functionality or features?
