Copilot chat history

[ruicsh]

Hi, I'd like to share a way to manage the CopilotChat.nvim chat history.

1. it's using the technique outlined here
2. when the first response to every chat's first question arrives, use a headless request to ask for a summary of the response to be used on the filename for the chat's history.
3. construct the basename for the history file with the timestamp YYYYMMDD_<title>
4. chat.save, creating a new file if not saved before
5. use a custom snacks.picker to list and preview the history files
6. on pick, chat.load

you can find the code here

This was super helpful, thank you for sharing! Just sharing this here in case anyone else ran into this issue with the snacks picker:

On nightly builds (or at least for me on v0.11.0-dev-1836+g095c0876c2) I just had to tweak the local function list_chat_history() to use:

local date = vim.fn.reltime(mtime)

instead of:

local date = vim.fn.fmt_relative_time(mtime)

edit: typos

I'm glad you found it helpful. Cheers for the v0.11 compatibility fix, I'm waiting for that coming wave of compatibility fixes :)
