Open files in auto suggestion context

Validations

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

Problem

I frequently have to convert code from one programming language to another. As a result I have two files open side by side and am rewriting one from one language into another. Autosuggest is only attempting to suggest the next line based on the context of the surrounding lines, not necessarily a related file.

Solution

It would be improve the LLM's response if the context also included open files in the autosuggestion. Not only attempts to include relevant imports but also relevant open files. As is, I have to copy and paste the file into a comment above or use the chat function.

Hi @vipero07 — we added autocomplete context from open tabs in your editor, which also takes into account when you view a file. You can find it here: #6012 . Feel free to reopen the issue if you have any further comments.
