Description

I'm having problems with custom commands in Visual Studio code, It sounds similar to https://github.com/continuedev/continue/issues/838

The first time it seems to not send my selected / highlighted code together with the command to the llm. It gives some bullocks answer about the Python re module or it answers as follows: "Sure, I'd be happy to help! However, I'll need you to provide the code...". If I continue the conversation (aka second time and up) the answers do seem to make sense.

Awhile ago (weeks? months?) I did not experience this problem. At the same time I'm not experiencing this problem in the PyCharm extension.

Update: Starting a new Continue session /w the +-button and rightclicking my selected code + choosing "Add Highlighted Code to Context" results in the same problem.

@Robinsane is this using custom commands like here? We did recently change the format to be much more flexible, so that you will have to add the {{{ input }}} templating variable wherever you prefer in the prompt (typically at the start). That should also explain why it's not happening in JetBrains (hasn't been released there yet)

That's it, thanks a ton for the fast reply! I just tested and the {{{ input }}}\n\n in front of the custom command prompt doesn't seem to disrupt the older version in Pycharm much, so even if it doesn't use it yet, I can distribute this config within my company :)

Thanks again!
