Problem Description

I frequently use system prompts per-chat and my current workflow is:

  1. In the main chat type / and select the needed prompt template.
  2. Select all text and cut.
  3. Go to chat controls and paste it into system prompt field.

This process can be simplified.

Desired Solution you'd like

I have 3 possible solution.

Option 1

After pressing / and selecting the desired prompt by arrow keys in main chat, allow a shortcut (e.g., Ctrl + Enter) to set this prompt directly as the system prompt for the current chat. After this appear small pop-up confirming the action.

Option 2

Add in settings checkbox Set chosen prompt in main chat as system prompt per-chat.. When enabled, any prompt selected with / in main chat will be automatically applied as the system prompt for that specific chat.

Option 3

Combine options 1 and 2.
