Use case: editing a prompt shortly after submitting it.

  1. Send a prompt to the agent
  2. Abort the operation
  3. Right click the prompt, hoping for a context menu to edit it and resubmit.

Result:

Editing the prompt in place would duplicate the edit functionality in the chat box, so maybe the "Edit prompt" option in that context menu should just move the cursor to the chat box and ensure that prompt is there for editing.

Related: I did notice that pressing arrow-up in the chat box brings up the previous prompt. IMO solely pressing the up arrow should behave like in any multiline edit box, rather than apparently lose the current text. Instead, a modifier key plus up/down should cycle through prompts.
