Is it possible to redirect a promp output to current cursor location?

Hi,
My workflow involves using commit prompt. Majority time they are perfect but involves bit of the work where need to copy the text and pasting to commit message, then closing/toggling chat panel.

What I am looking for is to run prompt in the background and once done text get added where my cursor is, this is highly specific to work with commit prompt but very useful.

Hi @olimorris,
just wondering if there is and API available that allows to grab the output and insert at the current cursor location

so far this is what I have, with this I get a diff directly and its matter of accepting it, but having access to the text straight would be great, or just option to accept the response directly.

        prompt_library = {
          ["Generate a Commit Message"] = {
            strategy = "inline",
            opts = {
              name = "copilot",
              model = "gemini-2.0-flash-001",
            },
          },
        },

I did try this as a hack, but it seem prompt calling is async and not sure how to wait or insert the key event,

      {
        "<leader>gm",
        function()
          require("codecompanion").prompt("commit")
          vim.api.nvim_feedkeys("ga", "n", false)
        end,
        desc = "message",
      },

after much pondering, I come up with this solution,

-- codecompanion: gitcommit accept
vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd({ "User" }, {
  pattern = "CodeCompanionDiffAttached",
  group = utils.augroup("gitcommit_accept", true),
  callback = function(request)
    local bufnr = request.data.bufnr
    if vim.bo[bufnr].filetype == "gitcommit" then
      vim.defer_fn(function()
        vim.api.nvim_feedkeys("ga", "t", false)
      end, 1000)
    end
  end,
})
