Chat Placement and Behavior Improvements: Sidebar vs. Popup Planning #65

Description

@myfoxit

Summary

Several UX enhancements are needed for the chat feature:

  • When on the main chat page, the popup (bottom right) chat should NOT appear.
  • The sidebar chat should simply be labeled "Chat" (not "AI Chat").
  • There needs to be planning and analysis to determine if both sidebar and popup chat should be shown; document pros/cons for each approach before implementation.
  • The popup chat should allow users to select which AI model to use.
  • Both sidebar and popup chat should remember and reuse the last-used model/chat, not fallback to "default chat" unnecessarily.

Tasks

  1. Analyze and determine when and why both chat UIs (sidebar/popup) should be shown versus a singular approach. Document pros and cons.
  2. Update the sidebar to show the name as "Chat".
  3. Hide the popup chat when the actual/primary chat page is active.
  4. Add model selection to the bottom right popup chat.
  5. Ensure both chat UIs remember and use the user's last used chat/model, not default/fallback.

Planning Needed

  • Create a detailed proposal/planning document with use cases and user flows before changes are implemented.
