pass range to :CodeCompanion

[Konfekt]

Seemingly :CodeCompanion only accepts the last visual selection as range, but not other ranges (:help range) such as the whole buffer (:%CodeCompanion).

That's an interesting suggestion. Could you talk me through what your use case would be for supporting more than the last selection?

As I am new to this plug-in it might be that, say %CodeCompanion is just an alias for :CodeCompanionChat.
But many of the https://github.com/olimorris/codecompanion.nvim?tab=readme-ov-file#clipboard-pre-defined-prompts can apply to the whole buffer.
Now I am not sure what the default range of CodeCompanion is, but also the current line . might be considered, say for renaming.
Also, refactoring only the lower/upper half of the file by .,$/1,. or the pasted region '[,'] could be a use case.

Finally, using ranges allows for operator mappings with :help 'operatorfunc', so that grip could for example refactor the current paragraph.
