Code autocompletion keyboard shortcut

• 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

hey. the code autocompletion is pretty slow (for me at least), and sometimes it doesn't understand it should complete at all

Solution

Adding a keybind for automatically calling the code completion model (e.g. Codestreal) for it to finish the line/add a few more
IMO this should be an optional one (not set by default)

@badger-py I appreciate the feedback here. I think that I want to address the root cause here before doing extra work to allow a shortcut trigger, but I think in VS Code this is already possible out of the box: https://docs.continue.dev/customize/deep-dives/autocomplete#can-i-configure-a-trigger-key-for-autocomplete

Out of curiosity, how are you running your models, and which IDE are you using?

@sestinj i know you didn't ask me, but this is how i did it for pycharm, which is a bit different than what's on the continue docs btw :

"tabAutocompleteModel": { "title": "Codestral", "provider": "mistral", "model": "codestral-latest", "apiKey": "xxx", "apiBase": "https://codestral.mistral.ai/v1/" },

Activate free autocomplete from mistral and add your api key.

I'm also looking for this method and it would be awesome if he could work in a JetBrains plugin!
