Problem

I currently don't see any configuration option that allows me to set the maximum number of history messages sent to the LLM. This setting may be significantly influenced by the maximum token limit of the provided LLM, so it would be better if we could set this parameter.
Perhaps this code is related:

continue/gui/src/hooks/useInputHistory.ts

Line 11 in aaf1a60

const MAX_HISTORY_LENGTH = 100;

Solution

Allow user setting MAX_HISTORY_LENGTH in the config instead of hardcode
