Aider Live Coding: Success, Integration Struggles

What’s your experience with Aider’s live coding capabilities – I’m currently using Aider v0.7.2 to generate Python scripts with a 92% success rate on my simple API tests, but struggling to integrate it seamlessly with VS Code’s auto-completion.

That's fantastic about the 92% success rate – I’ve found that VS Code’s IntelliSense struggles with Aider’s generated code, especially when it introduces complex data structures, which is why I’ve been using Tabnine for more reliable suggestions.

That’s fantastic success with the API tests – could you tell me specifically which VS Code extension you’re using for Aider integration and if you've tried adjusting the trigger key to match the Python interpreter’s completion behavior (I've found that a slight tweak can make a huge difference)?
