Multi-Suggestion Autocomplete

Validations

• I believe this is a way to improve. I'll try to join the Continue Discord for questions
• I'm not able to find an open issue that requests the same enhancement

Problem

The TabAutocomplete feature only displays one suggestion at a time. In other AI code assistants there is the option to toggle between multiple options. I was missing that feature when I started working with Continue.

As a workaround you can always add characters like "!" or "." in a comment before or below the completion. (However, not very nice solution)

As a reference, here is how Copilot is handling it:
https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/managing-copilot/configure-personal-settings/configuring-github-copilot-in-your-environment#prerequisites-2

Solution

It should be possible to toggle between the solutions.

Too not increase the token usage for those not interested, I would suggest adding a new config parameter:

tabAutocompleteOptions: {
  "maxSuggestions": 1
}

(where 1 is the default.)
