# Fabelous Autocoder

Fabelous Autocoder is a Visual Studio Code extension that provides an easy-to-use interface for Ollama autocompletion. This extension allows developers to use Ollama's powerful language models to generate code completions as they type. It is highly customizable, allowing users to configure various settings to fit their needs.

## Configuration

Fabelous Autocoder is highly customizable, allowing users to configure various settings to fit their needs. To access the configuration settings, follow these steps:

1. Open Visual Studio Code
2. Click on the Settings icon on the sidebar (or press `Ctrl+,`)
3. Search for "Fabelous Autocoder" in the search bar
4. Configure the desired settings

Here are some of the available configuration options:

- `fabelous-autocoder.endpoint`: The endpoint of the Ollama REST API
- `fabelous-autocoder.authentication`: The authentication token for Ollama
- `fabelous-autocoder.model`: The model to use for generating completions
- `fabelous-autocoder.max tokens predicted`: The maximum number of tokens generated by the model
- `fabelous-autocoder.prompt window size`: The size of the prompt in characters
- `fabelous-autocoder.completion keys`: The characters that trigger the autocompletion item provider
- `fabelous-autocoder.response preview`: Whether to show a preview of the generated completion inline
- `fabelous-autocoder.preview max tokens`: The maximum number of tokens generated for the response preview
- `fabelous-autocoder.preview delay`: The time to wait before starting inline preview generation
- `fabelous-autocoder.continue inline`: Whether to continue autocompletion after the inline preview
- `fabelous-autocoder.temperature`: The temperature of the model
- `fabelous-autocoder.keep alive`: The time in minutes before Ollama unloads the model

Note that changing the `completion keys` setting requires a reload of Visual Studio Code.

## Usage

To use Fabelous Autocoder, simply start typing in the editor. When the configured completion keys are pressed, the extension will generate a completion using the configured Ollama model. The completion will be displayed inline with a preview of the generated code. If the `continue inline` setting is enabled, the extension will continue generating completions after the inline preview.

To generate a multi-line completion, press `Enter` after the inline preview. This will open a new editor with the generated completion.

To customize the behavior of the extension, see the Configuration section above.
