- Feat: add configuration options for command completion and file path insertion, by Yikai Zhao
- Chore: Add prompt candidates for document rewriting

- Add support for dropping file under cursor in aider comint buffer, given discussion in #179
- Multiple chats for the same repository.
- To turn on this feature,
(setq aider-use-branch-specific-buffers t) - If we want to switch to work on a different feature, we switch git branch, and it will map to a corresponding aider session. The aider session name pattern would be
aider:<path-to-git-repo>:branch-name

- Improve prompts for
- diff review: aider-pull-or-review-diff-file
- code refactoring suggestion: aider–handle-ask-llm-suggestion
- debug exception: aider-debug-exception
- fix: aider–process-message-if-multi-line: it will not add {aider..aider} block, when the str already contains {aider string. It cause /ask made change for multi-line prompt. (I thought it is an aider bug but it isn’t: Aider-AI/aider#3893). The bug is not very obvious because aider-input-sender function didn’t print the modification on the aider session.
- fix: aider–send-command trim both leading and trailing \n before sending. so it won’t unnecessarily wrap prompt with {aider..aider} block
- aider–analyze-module and aider–plot-module-architecture do not ask user to provide module directory (it might add non-relevant files and adding cost). Now add related files for the module is user’s responsibility before using this two functions.
- aider–batch-add-dired-marked-files-with-command will use git root relative path for /add command. Since in –subtree-only session the full path add doesn’t work.
- fix aider–analyze-module function. It now accept a module directory provided by user, /read-only, and then analyze the module using the prompt.
- Better color rendering for aider-comint-buffer, especially on prompt input line
- from the line and below in this PR: https://github.com/MatthewZMD/aidermacs/pull/119/files#diff-1865a6c95bb14150b7acdc358d45da54237ced17219de644e1194b6e1bcab04eR387

aider-plain-read-stringwith better completion and history - Deprecate
aider-other-process-commandmenu item. aider comint session already have command completion, so there is no advantage to use this menu item. - Update keyword completion and highlight given aider in-chat commands change
- Added
aider-core--auto-trigger-insert-prompt. whenaider-auto-trigger-promptis t (default off), it will automatically trigger prompt insertion in aider comint session after one of the commands (/ask, /code, /architect). - aider–comint-send-string-syntax-highlight use comint-send-input since it is a more standard way, given suggestion from Spike-Leung
- In aider-prompt-file, C-u C-c C-n can send block line by line in aider prompt file (close to C-c C-n)
- magit rebase style file operation in aider-prompt-mode, and send block line by line command (request from Spike-Leung)
- also added cycle between /ask and /architect command
- Remove redundant savehist configuration, by LemonBreezes (the history feature with savehist for aider-plain-read-string is initially added by LemonBreezes as well)
