Chat View History: display current conversation

Validations

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

Problem

Currently, if I start a new Chat (Ctrl+L) and start talking with the LLM, and then click "View History", the current chat will not appear in the History. Only if I, for example, select a past chat and click View History again, will it appear on the top.

Solution

I think it would be more clear if history displayed not only past conversations, but also the latest created, ongoing conversation.

Yeah this definitely makes sense!

I'm marking this as good-first-issue on the chance that anyone finds it and is interested in contributing before we get to it, but I think this feels like a high bang to buck that we might fix in the next ~week

I think the best way of doing this is probably to auto-save the chat at the end of each message
