Hi.

This is an awesome tool to have, and I love the recent update! I want to thank the creator of the software, and the whole community.

Here are some suggestions from me that I have now. I will add more later.

  1. The "Copy as Markdown" button only copies the first response, regardless of the follow-up question. Sometimes, we refine our answer using follow-up questions and expect the last response to be copied, but when the Copy as Markdown button is pressed, it always copies the first response.
  2. The initial prompt can always hidden (or collapsed) initially, but the user can click a small button to show/expand the initial prompt. This will allow users to understand the prompts and the responses, which will help them to refine their prompts/custom buttons gradually.
  3. Selected text should be able to be copied as a formatted text, and a markdown text.
  4. Assuming Select All is to be used for selecting the whole text and then copying it in a specific format, I suggest adding two options: Copy response as formatted text, and Copy response as markdown. [note: here the whole text after a prompt is referred to as 'response'] That will reduce the clicks, from [RMB -> Select All -> RMB -> Copy as markdown] to [RMB -> Copy response as markdown]
  5. I was confused by the scrollbar multiple times- I thought the brighter, wider part was the handle, but then I understood it was the opposite. I want to suggest changing it and aligning it with the usual style of scrollbars that we are used to. It is a minor change, less important than the first 4 suggestions, so I kept it at last.

So, combining the suggestions, the context menu can look like this:

Context Menu
Copy formatted
Copy markdown
Copy Link Location
---
Copy response as formatted
Copy response as markdown

The texts/names of the options can be changed to improve the UX, but I think the options will be beneficial for the community.

Hi @vfxturjo! Thank you for your kind words, and thank you for taking the time to write that out—it's really comprehensive, and the screenshot helps.

I agree with pretty much all your points! I'll note these down to try working on for future updates :)
