Improved Text Retrieval & Split-Screen Window

[sudhanshu19102003]

Changes Made

• Modified the window opening behavior to split-screen.
• Replaced nvim.current.eval("getreg('"')") with nvim.current.buffer[:] for retrieving the code.

Tip

nvim.current.eval("getreg('"')") :
It only contains the text from the most recent yank, delete, change, or put operation, if there were no changes it didn't give any output
Before

After

I've implemented a similar approach on my fork jellydn@97fcd70

I think the view mode/option should be configured.

return {
  -- Import the copilot plugin
  { import = "lazyvim.plugins.extras.coding.copilot" },
  {
    "jellydn/CopilotChat.nvim",
    branch = "canary",
    opts = {
       mode = "split"
    },
    build = function()
      vim.defer_fn(function()
        vim.cmd("UpdateRemotePlugins")
        vim.notify("CopilotChat - Updated remote plugins. Please restart Neovim.")
      end, 3000)
    end,
    event = "VeryLazy",
    keys = {
      { "<leader>cce", "<cmd>CopilotChatExplain<cr>", desc = "CopilotChat - Explain code" },
      { "<leader>cct", "<cmd>CopilotChatTests<cr>", desc = "CopilotChat - Generate tests" },
    },
  },
}

Ya that's great but we still have to change the
nvim.current.eval("getreg('"')") : to nvim.current.buffer[:]

I am not sure about it. Let's see @gptlang view on your PR.

I completely missed this PR. Lost access to my email and didn't get notifications. Just fixed it recently. Sorry abut that (which is why i got notification of closing)

[gptlang]

After looking at it a bit more, I agree with @jellydn's approach of being able to configure it (even though I do split pretty much 99% of the time)

Would this pass the whole file in the buffer in or just the visible part?
