I have searched the existing issues and discussions.
Problem Description
Currently, after selecting a model in the model selection dropdown, the text field does not automatically receive focus. This forces the user to manually click in the text field or move the mouse over to start typing, which disrupts the user flow and decreases efficiency.
Desired Solution you'd like
When a model is selected from the dropdown, automatically set the focus on the text field so that the user can immediately start typing. This behavior will streamline the user experience and reduce unnecessary clicks.
Alternatives Considered
Keeping the current implementation and instructing users.
Adding a visual indicator to remind the user to click on the text field, which is less straightforward than directly setting the focus.
Additional Context
This enhancement will improve the overall usability of the interface, especially for users who frequently switch models and wish to quickly input text without extra interaction. It is a small change that will have a significant positive impact on user experience.
