Change the constructor to accept role and a single content item instead
of raw AvanteLLMMessage instance. This will help when we will start
changing message.content from being a string or a list of tables to just
a string or a single table.
Commit a9b01e7 ("chores: use stopinsert (#1745)") replaced uses of
vim.api.nvim_feedkeys(...) with proper commands to exit and enter insert
mode. However "stopinsert" does not help when editor is in visual mode.
Unfortunately there is no dedicated command to exit visual mode so we
have to go back to simulating keystrokes again.
Now that we have a table listing all containers and can iterate over it
we no longer need a separate table with window IDs that we need to
maintain. Remove it.
Maintaining secondary table of window IDs is cumbersome and is prone to
getting out of sync with the true state of the sidebar. In preparation
for removal of winids table move all containers (sub-windows of the
sidebar) into "containers" table.
The change is mostly mechanical rename with following exceptions:
- Sidebar:reifresh_winids() and other places where the code scanned
entire Sidebar object looking for tables with specific fields, such
as "winid", or "mount" needed to be adjusted for the new structure
- Sidebar:new() and Sidebar:reset() have been adjusted to make better
use of the new sub-table.
Under the hood vim.list_extend() does the same loop over the source
table and uses table.insert() to append the values to the destination
table, so using a temporary table makes little sense.
Switch to directly inserting (appending) values into history_lines
table.
When updating chat history to be used in LLM request there are several
instances where we do O(n^2) operations: scanning all messages to locate
a tool "use" and for each use scan messages again to locate
corresponding "result".
Refactor the code to scan messages once collecting tool uses and results
together, and then do 2nd scan to drop incomplete tool invocations and
refresh "view" and "edit" results with the latest content.
Also reduce number of pre-scan loops (where we discard partially
generated messages or messages that are not interesting or too-old) by
combining them when possible.
This reduces time to scan initial 417 messages on my system (which
result in 576 final messages) from 0.32 to 0.12 seconds.
Move code related to converting history messages into UI representation
from utils into history/render.lua for better code organization and
clean up the implementation.
The utils module has grown too big and contains unrelated functionality.
Start moving code related to managing history messages comprising chat
history into lua/avante/history module to keep the code more manageable.
