Problem

Found myself editing an old Dockerfile and wanted to load up the context from another project I was also using continue in :-), but couldn't reference the other file.

Solution

If we could reference files from any active (or recent?) workspace, that could be fun.

Not the end of the world, I just copied pasted the other Dockerfile verbatim in the chat, and it worked.

Definitely a nice to have though, since, if I understand correctly, there is only 1 (one) Continue Server for all my open vscode projects (usually 4-6 at a time)

Might be some configuration option we could add here. Something like "additional_index_paths": ["/path/to/Dockerfile"]. In that case we'd probably use that for both @file as well as codebase indexing for embeddings.

Alternatively: Is this the sort of thing you would know ahead of time, or would you rather just be able to turn off the workspace filter and then retrieve any result from meilisearch regardless of whether it is in the workspace?
