CodeCompanionComplete command for tab-autocompletion

[pratyushmittal]

Description

This PR adds a CodeCompanionComplete command to trigger a code completion on demand.

Though I added it as a test POC (proof-of-concept), I ended us using it extensively.

I use it with this setting in my init.lua:

vim.keymap.set({ 'i' }, '<C-f>', '<cmd>CodeCompanionComplete<cr>', { noremap = true, silent = true, desc = 'Complete [F]orward' })

The above triggers a tab-style code completion on pressing Ctrl+f in insert mode. No need to pass any chat instructions. Usually the comments and context around the cursor is sufficient to provide a good completion.

@olimorris I am not sure if this fits within the scope of the library. I personally have been finding this feature very useful.

The current PR is a draft. I can work on improving it if you too find it useful.

Improvements to make:

• Add some visual feedback to show when loading a autocomplete.
• Try to use list_code_usages tool along with for even better suggestions.

This is a very nice QOL feature!

Hey @pratyushmittal

I am not sure if this fits within the scope of the library

It definitely does and would be an awesome addition. I'm not sure I'd want to have this as a separate command though. As this utilizes the inline assistant, I think it would make sense for it to be :CodeCompanion complete. This is because the current "main" commands all map to strategies i.e. :CodeCompanionChat and :CodeCompanionCmd. It could always be its own context variable :CodeCompanion #{complete} (like we have this for #{buffer} and #{chat} right now). This would keep it nicely structured and contained but appreciate its doing something a bit more than just sharing context so isn't that intuitive to a user.

Bottom line, totally want this in CodeCompanion just need to workout what the UX would be.

Add some visual feedback to show when loading a autocomplete.

I wouldn't want this directly in CodeCompanion but we could fire some events with the buffer number, line numbers etc so users could hook into that themselves. I will always endeavour for CodeCompanion to not force anything on a user from a UI perspective beyond what happens in the chat buffer.

Try to use list_code_usages tool along with for even better suggestions.

This would be so good and so powerful, but I suspect this could be quite complicated to achieve. How are you envisioning this would work?
