btw

[euri10]

I noticed while reconfiguring my keymaps this btw command:

codecompanion.nvim/doc/usage/chat-buffer/index.md

Line 28 in 57989ac

New in `v19.12.0`, you can send a message to the LLM whilst it's executing tool calls with the `btw` keymap which is triggered with `gm`. When safe to do so, CodeCompanion will send the message to the LLM.

I'd like to know how people are using it, what's the typical use case and how does it work in practice ?

I can imagine wanting to use it when im for instance in autopilot mode and the model is obviousy going into a bad direction so I want to add things in order to correct it, is that the case ?
if yes, will the model take into account the comment I made by btw, when ? because if it is once the wrong direction it took is finished then it's kinda too late.
if you could shed some light on this it woud be greatly appreciated

Pretty much everything you said above, from the docs.

The idea is that CodeCompanion will insert your message into the message history during an agentic loop, working out when it's safe to do so (so it's not orphaning tool calls).

At some point this month I will do a video series which shows some more advanced usages of CodeCompanion and how you can leverage things like btw
