The idea is to enhance the code completion feature by incorporating a mechanism that considers recently edited files. This approach aims to make the code completion suggestions more context-aware and relevant to the developer's current tasks and recent edits, providing a smarter assistance in predicting the next lines of code or implementations.
Rationale
Given a developer often edits a number of files that are closely related when working on a specific feature or fixing a bug, tracking these recently edited files and utilizing them in predicting code completion can significantly streamline the development workflow. This feature would enhance the accuracy of code suggestions by factoring in the developer's recent activities.
Expected Behavior
The code completion engine should prioritize suggestions based on the context derived from the recently edited files.
The system should keep an up-to-date list of files that the developer has worked on, say, over the last few sessions or a configurable time frame.
Potential Challenges
Deciding the optimal way to integrate recent files without overwhelming the current code completion algorithms.
Ensuring that the feature does not lead to privacy concerns, especially in multi-user environments.
I believe this feature would make a valuable addition by making the development environment more intuitive and reducing the cognitive load on developers, thereby boosting productivity.
Looking forward to the community’s input and further discussions on this suggestion.
