Problem Description

It is a minor feature, but with many starters on openwebui trained all do the same mistake

Prompt suggestions as provided in the model are mostly clicked via mouse.
now the user waits that something is happening. But nothing is happening as they do not see they need to click now again on send or to press enter.
And this I had to 100% of the users!!!
So IMHO this is a UX which shall be improved

what is missing, if the user selects a one of "Prompt suggestions" that this prompt is being sent immediately
afaik a js onclick() event could autosend this.
It shall be activated by default and shall be a configurable toggle for admins

Desired Solution you'd like

default behavior: on clicking suggested prompt, this prompt shall be auto sent

Alternatives Considered

leave it as it is, but bad UX

Additional Context

all my trained persons, have failed on this basic test of the UI => UX is matter of improvement here

Could we please make this feature optional, either via an environment variable or a toggle in the admin UI? I preferred the previous implementation, as it allowed more flexibility in using and modifying the initial prompt. Personally, I often start with a suggested prompt and then edit specific sections as needed.

@deployn you can toggle it in the settings > Interface settings

I think this is a regression, I use suggested prompts as "partial prompts" so if it autosend I can't edit them anymore

Is there an admin setting to toggle this globally? Or is it per-user only?

@mfgeary per-user only unfortunately.

I am thinking of a potential solution to this and all similar issues where admins can define global default values for the Interface settings for all users, what do you think of this?
