Creating issue based on discussion here https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-discussions/discussions/1056

Currently there is no clean way to show the users from which extension the inline suggestion comes from when users scroll through the list of inline suggestions from hover UI using next/previous buttons.

In the above screen recording the first suggestion comes from copilot and the second suggestion is coming from Ansible Lightspeed extension.

For the inline suggestion displayed in editor it will good to display the name of the extension in the hover UI.

The issue here https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/169336#issue-1499224373 describes removing Open GitHub Copilot from hover UI however this can be replaced with the name of the extension from which the inline suggestion is came from.

Extensions can return commands (e.g. "Open Copilot Settings"), such commands are only shown for an inline completion that has them. This could be used to indicate where an inline completion came from.

Can you please point to an example for this?
