Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When I click on "New Chat" or open an existing chat,
I want to type right away in the chat, but I have first to click in the prompt input area.

Describe the solution you'd like

Autofocus on the field when opening a new or existing chat.

Also observed that:

  • OpenAi ChatGPT UI does it.
  • Google Gemini UI does not.
  • Microsoft Copilot does not.

Describe alternatives you've considered

None.
