Code completions

This feature enables you inserting code completions directly at cursor's position while using the selected context. Code completions in Code Web Chat use big and capable models which have latency too high for automatic invocation on each keystroke but the results are of much greater quality.

Structure of the generated API request:

<files>
  <file path="...">...</file> (Context files)
  ...
  <file path="...">
    ...
    <missing text>
    ...
  </file>
</files>
Somewhere in files you encountered the <missing text> symbol. Send the missing code only, without explanations, or any other text.
