Random issue/annoyances #265

Description

@rchl

Been testing it for a little while and will just dump my first impressions or things that I feel are not ideal. Can split those into separate issue later.

  • not clear what is being sent to copilot on triggering chat. Is it current file, selection, nothing?
  • after triggering chat command it takes few seconds of waiting before anything happens. Based on the status message it seems like it creates a conversation (concept that might not be obvious to users) but I guess it could do that after chat window is opened. Then it could also report progress to the user better.
  • styling (font spacing?) feels a bit cramped in the chat output
  • chat being a html view is rather annoying (can't copy arbitrary text - for example my prompt itself). I feel like plain text file with phantoms would do just fine. I've been trying Claudette package and it works rather well there.
  • when chat view is focused, I can't seem to trigger action to send new prompt. I need to focus normal view and then trigger "Copilot: chat". It should just trigger prompt input on pressing enter in the chat view for example (though perhaps not possible with html view?)
  • chat view doesn't scroll automatically to the new output on triggering new prompt
  • sometimes seems like chat scrolls all the way to the top "randomly" (have not figured exact pattern)
