[PLUS] Auto-complete while typing

Open Garfounkel opened this issue 1 year ago • 5 comments

Haven't seen an example of tab-autocomplete feature. What I mean by that is I expect the plugging to try to predict what I'm gonna write as I'm writing a note and to be able to accept the suggestion with Tab. The Readme doesn't talk about such feature so I suppose it doesn't exists? But that's what I expected when I searched for a Copilot for Obsidian. Chat mode is nice to have of course but to me autocomplete would be the killer feature.

yeah, It's a nice feature.

Inline features will come next. But let me share the philosophy of this project. It is not trying to be a do-all kind of plugin.

This plugin focuses on question answering, document understanding, and AI assistant/second brain. Autocomplete is the nice-to-have. The "Copilot" name may suggest that, but I believe that at this stage, most "copilot" apps are closer to this than having autocomplete as its core feature.

Maybe this viewpoint is worth considering.

TBH I was expecting this from the plugin, at least from the VS Code experience.

Although, thinking about it I'd find a feature like what you get with cmd+i with GitHub Copilot extension in VSC much more useful even - generate text at the cursor. As for free text, as opposed to code, I don't see myself using autocompletion as much.

I don't find myself using it that much as it's too "cursor heavy" this way - having to navigate to the chat window and click a small icon to place text at the cursor. (What I actually do is: cmd+p -> Copilot: Open Copilot Chat Window -> 6× shift+tab -> spacebar just so I don't have to lift my fingers off of the keyboard 🤦 )

What kept me from uninstalling the plugin is that I really love how well-done and polished it is so I believe in it a ton. Thank you! 👍
