New in v8.0.0 - ✨ Slash Commands from Prompt Library and better key mapping

[olimorris]

Hopefully this release dramatically improves the usability of the plugin.

Firstly, you can now mark specific prompts (from the prompt library) as slash commands. These will then appear in the completion menu in the chat buffer. This is accomplished via the opts.is_slash_cmd value and can be seen in the commit prompt:

Secondly, the default keymaps that came with each prompt in the prompt library have been removed. There was some fair criticism recently that it was a frustrating inclusion to have as a default and also cumbersome to modify. Now, you can do require("codecompanion").prompt("commit") to call the commit prompt for example. The value of the prompt argument is the opts.short_name value from the prompt library. This allows for:

vim.api.nvim_set_keymap("v", "<LocalLeader>ce", "", {
  callback = function()
    require("codecompanion").prompt("explain")
  end,
  noremap = true,
  silent = true,
})

Sub-Commands

If you run :CodeCompanion or :CodeCompanionChat you'll now also see the sub-commands appear in the cmdline.

I also expect there to be some improvement to startup time as we're no longer setting up any keymaps by default.
