Ah that's a bummer. You can still add threads as context, but that you cannot use slash commands there, so the only way to add them or other stuff in the context is to click buttons with the mouse. It would be nice if at least slash commands were working there.
edit: actually it is still possible to include text threads in there
It actually seems to work for me. I have an active text thread and it was added automatically to my inline prompt in the file. There was this box on the bottom of the inline text box. I think I had to click it the first time to include the context, but the subsequent times it was included by default.
Yeah, It was great because you were in control of where and when the edits happened.
So you could manage the context with great care, then go over to the editor and select specific regions and then "pull in" the changes that were discussed.
I guess it was silly that I was always typing "use the new code" in every inline assist message.
A hotkey to "pull new code" into a selected region would have been sweet.
I don't really want to "set it and forget it" and then come back to some mega diff that is like 30% wrong. Especially right now where it keeps getting stuck and doing nothing for 30m.
