Debug Console is Almost Unusable - better autocomplete + commands history

[luabagg]

Currently, it’s quite difficult to use the debugger console, as it doesn’t retain the history of executed commands.

• It should allow cycling through previously entered commands using the up arrow key.

Autocomplete could be better if it prioritized local variables and recent values, not just exact matches. VSCode does this by ranking value relevance first, then type.

Hey, I like the idea of having the UP key press feature.

What adapter/language are you using, because we support the autocompletion request, so we should have the same completions as VS Code has for example. It could be that the adapter does not support autocompletion request, in that case we fall back to all the variable names that are visual inside the variable list. So it could be that we are missing some variables.

It's Python actually, yeah, it works

Maybe I just haven’t gotten used to it yet, but it seems like the suggestions are based on exact matches, whereas in VSCode they’re prioritized by value first and type last.

I created a PR that fixes the autocompletion sorting, we didn't look at the sort_text property from the CompletionItem.
