FR: A model selector within the chat window
Would be very handy to be able to quickly select and switch models from within the chat window instead of going to settings. Would also be good to be able to select between server and local models from within the same selector.

Thanks for the suggestion! I've actually wanted this feature for a while; it's a pain switching models during testing.
However, I'm unsure how to implement this feature in a way that doesn't significantly add clutter for non-technical users, who wouldn't know the difference between o1-pro and o3-mini or Qwen2.5-32B-Instruct and QwQ-32B. In many ways it would make the UI rather scary for them and increase the learning curve (which I think is already quite steep).
How do you think this should be approached?
While implementing this feature, I found a bug where models could not be fetched from the server due to the lack of an API key.
I've also added a new sheet that allows users to easily add custom model names.
