feature: Manual history clearing

[segersniels]

Feature request

With the recent addition of keeping track of conversational context of previous question I am now in need of an option to clear the chat history manually. Each time I ask a question in the same file the previous context get sent and the cost per prompt keep increasing since the input tokens keep becoming bigger and bigger.

If this is already possible, how do I do this exactly? I would expect :AvanteClear to clear the chat, but that doesn't seem to do that.

Motivation

Decreasing user cost

Can you try /clear in AvanteChat? It works for me

That works, is it documented anywhere? However it does seem to also close the chat which feels kind of odd as you're trying to ask a question but get thrown out of the flow 🤔

Also what exactly is the difference between /clear and :AvanteClear?
