Hi,

The prompt customization features of copilot are great and nicely documented. However, there is a reference to using chat input variables in the prompt file structure:

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/copilot/copilot-customization

Input variables - ${input:variableName}, ${input:variableName:placeholder} (pass values to the prompt from the chat input field

However, there is no example of this, and when I add an input variable to a prompt file it's unclear how to use it.

Would appreciate some help with this. Thanks!
