feat(chat): add prompt history picker to the chat input - #2155
A leading "!" or "!" in the chat input opens a picker with the prompts of the current task, newest first. A query after the trigger filters the list with fuzzy matching, for example !fix.
Selecting a row replaces the whole input with that prompt. It does not send the message, so the user can edit the text first. Escape closes the picker.
The picker does not open for an exclamation mark inside a message ("Great!", "if (!x)") or for a markdown image ("").
The input placeholder now shows "! for user history" between the command hint and the drag hint. All 18 locales carry the new chat:historyHint key.
The original idea is trying to impove the user experience when facing long turn messages. But after a research, turn rail (message minimap) is not a good idea for current solution.
Current valid solution is using arrows in chat box to find the history prompts ( It works, but not very user friendly.)
My solution is to add a '!' command just like '@ for context, / for commands', '!' can trigger user prompt history menu. (! is a famous command under linux for history, I think it is easily accepted)
Test Procedure
manual and also Vitest result:
pnpm exec vitest run src/utils/tests/context-mentions.spec.ts
[WARN] The "pnpm" field in package.json is no longer read by pnpm. The following keys were ignored: "pnpm.onlyBuiltDependencies", "pnpm.overrides". See https://pnpm.io/settings for the new home of each setting.
(!) Your Vite config uses features that are unsupported by configLoader: 'native', which is planned to become the default in a future major version of Vite:
__dirname (vitest.config.ts:49:22). Use import.meta.dirname instead
import "../src/utils/vitest-verbosity" without a file extension (vitest.config.ts:4:34). Add the file extension
ESM syntax in a file loaded as CommonJS (../src/utils/vitest-verbosity.ts:1:1). Use a .mjs extension or set "type": "module" in the closest package.json
Set VITE_CONFIG_NATIVE_IGNORE_WARNING=true to suppress this warning.

Issue Linked: This PR is linked to an approved GitHub Issue (see "Related GitHub Issue" above).
Scope: My changes are focused on the linked issue (one major feature/fix per PR).
Self-Review: I reviewed my own code with care.
Writing Style: The PR title and description use Simplified Technical English (ASD-STE100): short sentences, plain words, active voice, one idea per sentence, no contractions.
Testing: New and/or updated tests have been added to cover my changes (if applicable).
Visual Snapshot (UI changes only): If a user would notice this change at a glance (layout, theme tokens, brand elements, empty/error states), I added or updated a *.visual.tsx snapshot in webview-ui/. See webview-ui/AGENTS.md → "When a UI change needs a snapshot".
Documentation Impact: I checked if my changes need documentation updates (see "Documentation Updates" section below).
A leading "!" or "!" in the chat input opens a picker with the prompts of the current task, newest first. A query after the trigger filters the list with fuzzy matching, for example !fix.
Selecting a row replaces the whole input with that prompt. It does not send the message, so the user can edit the text first. Escape closes the picker.

Summary
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Type ! or ! at the start of the chat input to browse and filter recent prompts, including the initial task prompt and user feedback. Select a prompt to replace the input without sending it.
Prompts appear newest-first, with duplicates removed. Press Escape to dismiss the picker, and use localized shortcut guidance to discover it.
Bug Fixes
Enter and Tab retain their normal behavior when no history option is available. In edit mode, Escape closes an open picker before cancelling the edit.
Tests
Added coverage for prompt history, filtering, selection, keyboard behavior, dismissal, and edit-mode interactions.
A leading ! or ! opens a prompt-history picker. The picker filters and deduplicates history entries. Selecting an entry replaces the input without sending it. Prompt history includes the initial task prompt and user feedback prompts.

Summary
Prompt history and option generation webview-ui/src/components/chat/hooks/usePromptHistory.ts, webview-ui/src/components/chat/hooks/__tests__/usePromptHistory.spec.tsx, webview-ui/src/utils/context-mentions.ts, webview-ui/src/utils/__tests__/context-mentions.spec.ts
The history hook includes a nonblank initial task prompt and user feedback prompts. Context-menu utilities recognize leading ! and ! triggers, filter and deduplicate history entries, preserve their input order, and return NoResults when no entries match.
Chat input and context-menu integration webview-ui/src/components/chat/ChatTextArea.tsx, webview-ui/src/components/chat/ContextMenu.tsx, webview-ui/src/components/chat/__tests__/ChatTextArea.spec.tsx, webview-ui/src/i18n/locales/*/chat.json
The chat input passes prompt history to the menu, replaces the input when a history entry is selected, and suppresses reopening after Escape for the dismissed text. Enter and Tab select only under the specified unmodified, non-composing conditions. The menu renders history entries, and locale files add the history hint. Component tests cover selection, dismissal, and keyboard handling.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 1581e
The picker has test gaps for empty history and mouse selection, but no production failure is established. The missing visual baselines have been added; the remaining coverage work is bounded follow-up.

Explanation
[ #2106 ] requires a turn rail with turn markers, hover previews, click-to-jump navigation, short-chat handling, and a setting. The PR instead adds a picker that copies prior user prompts into the input. It does not navigate the chat view to a turn. The picker tests cover prompt recall, not turn navigation. The incremental diff was unavailable; the whole-PR summary and current description support this conclusion.
Resolution
Implement the turn rail and its required navigation, short-chat behavior, and setting. Add automated tests for those behaviors.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
[ #2106 ] concerns navigation to existing conversation turns. ChatTextArea.tsx, ContextMenu.tsx, and usePromptHistory.ts instead add prompt recall for editing in the input. This is an alternative feature, not support for the requested rail. The locale, visual, and test changes support that picker.
Resolution
Move the prompt-history picker and its supporting changes to a PR linked to an issue that requests prompt recall, or update the linked issue to include this feature.
Full details: Regression Evidence
Explanation
The changed picker suppression behavior lacks focused coverage. ChatTextArea.tsx:692-705 suppresses an empty-history picker and dismissed prefixes. The empty-history test at ChatTextArea.spec.tsx:912-936 checks for an absent prompt, not an absent picker; a visible NoResults menu would also pass, and Enter already falls through for that row. The Escape tests do not extend and then leave a dismissed prefix. The recalled-prefix test checks a row that would not match the extended query, so it does not establish that the picker stayed closed. Four themed picker snapshots are present.
Resolution
Add a controlled component test that verifies the picker itself is absent for empty history and Enter sends. Add a test that dismisses a matching query, extends the dismissed prefix, verifies the picker stays closed, then leaves the prefix and verifies it can reopen.
Full details: Lifecycle Resource Cleanup
Explanation
The new history path leaves a pending file-search timer active. In ChatTextArea.tsx:692-714, replacing @old with !@new within 200 ms skips the cancellation at lines 736-739. The old timer then sends searchFiles after the context changes. Before this PR, !@new entered the mention-search branch and canceled that timer. The timer also still lacks unmount cleanup.
Resolution
Clear and null the pending file-search timer when leaving file search, including history-picker entry and dismissal. Clear and null it on unmount. Add tests for the transition and unmount.

Review comments at @webview-ui/src/components/chat/ChatTextArea.tsx:
- Around line 665-666: Update the search-query handling around setSearchQuery
and setSelectedMenuIndex so an unmatched history query that produces only
NoResults leaves no menu option selected; ensure Enter then follows the normal
message-send path instead of being prevented without action.
- Around line 453-460: Update the Escape-key handling in ChatTextArea so an open
history picker is dismissed before the edit-mode cancellation path invokes
handleCancelEdit, preserving the current draft. Add a component test verifying
this precedence when editing with the history picker open.
Review comments at @webview-ui/src/utils/context-mentions.ts:
- Around line 163-164: Update the history-query filtering around `Fzf.find` so
fuzzy matching still selects matching prompts but the final results retain the
input order, preserving newest-first history rather than Fzf’s relevance
ranking. Add a test where multiple prompts match at different ranks and verify
they remain newest-first.

Escape now closes the picker before it can cancel an edit, so the draft is kept. Enter still sends the message when no prompt matches the query instead of being swallowed. Fuzzy matches keep newest-first order instead of fzf's ranking.
Add component tests for the Escape precedence and the no-match send path, plus a gallery story with picker-open snapshots.

Review comments at @webview-ui/src/components/chat/ChatTextArea.tsx:
- Line 521: Update the history-selection key handler in ChatTextArea so it
selects a row only for an unmodified, non-composing Enter or Tab; let
Shift+Enter, Ctrl/Cmd+Enter, and composing Enter continue through their normal
newline or send handling. Add tests covering these key paths when a history row
is selected.
- Line 654: Update the suppression logic around the `suppressed` condition so it
clears the dismissal when `normalizedInputValue` becomes empty, including when
the controlled value resets without `handleInputChange`. Add a
controlled-component test that dismisses the picker at `!`, resets the input
externally, and verifies typing `!` again opens the picker.
- Around line 503-531: Update the Enter/Tab handling for the selectedMenuIndex
branch in ChatTextArea: when no selectable option exists, prevent the default
and return for non-history queries, while preserving fallthrough for unmatched
history queries.
- Around line 235-249: Update usePromptHistory’s conversation prompt selection
to include the first clineMessages entry only when it is a say: "text" message
with nonblank text, alongside the existing user_feedback prompts. Do not search
later entries for a text message, so assistant responses and image-only tasks
are not treated as initial prompts.

Escape used to cancel IME composition also dismissed the picker and marked the draft as dismissed, although the send path and the edit-mode cancel already guard on the composition flag.
Resolve the binary conflict in electron-chat-dark-sidebar.png by taking the upstream baseline. The merged UI needs a regenerated baseline because upstream added message timestamps while this branch extends the input hint.
Add or strengthen a focused test that fails under the mutation. If the mutant is equivalent, request maintainer approval for the narrowest mutator-specific exclusion and explain why it cannot change behavior:
// Stryker disable next-line ConditionalExpression: normalized input cannot reach the alternate branch
const result = condition ? value : fallback
Broad all exclusions and exclusions without a concrete reason are reported as advisories.

Failed pre-merge checks:
- Linked Issues check:
Implement the #2106 turn rail with these behaviors:
1. Render a vertical rail beside the chat panel.
2. Add one marker per full turn (user message plus assistant reply).
3. Show preview text on marker hover.
4. Scroll the chat view to the target turn on marker click.
5. Hide or disable the rail for short chats.
6. Add a setting toggle that enables or disables the rail.
Add tests for these behaviors. Alternatively, link this PR to an issue that
requests chat-input prompt history, and remove `Closes: #2106`.
- Out of Scope Changes check:
Move the prompt-history picker to a separate PR. Link that PR to an issue that
requests chat-input prompt history. Alternatively, update #2106 or the linked
issue to include this feature and obtain its approval. Keep the #2106 changes
focused on the turn rail.
- Regression Evidence:
Add a controlled component test that types `!` with empty conversation and task
history, verifies the picker stays closed, and verifies Enter sends. Add a test
that dismisses the picker, extends the dismissed prefix, confirms it stays
closed, then leaves the prefix and verifies the picker can reopen.
- Lifecycle Resource Cleanup:
Clear and null the pending search timer when leaving file search, including
history-picker entry and dismissal. Clear and null it on unmount. Cover the
transition and unmount with tests.

The stated concern is a product-intent question, not a demonstrated defect. The stated condition is inaccurate, and the remaining behavior matches the explicit dismissal design in the code.
The only behavior the code does not settle is whether appending text to a recalled prompt should keep the picker closed. The code's own comments define suppression as dismissal for the current text, and the PR does not say otherwise. No inspected source or contract shows that the current behavior breaks a requirement, loses data, or blocks a workflow. No change is established.

Add picker tests for Tab selection, in-picker arrow keys, empty history, and the ! trigger.
The picker block in this spec does not exercise four paths that the implementation handles:
Tab selection: isRowSelectKey commits a row on Tab (ChatTextArea.tsx:539-547). No test sends a Tab keydown.
Arrow keys with the picker open: no test in this block sends ArrowUp or ArrowDown while the picker is visible. The existing arrow-key tests run without the picker.
Empty history: the guard at ChatTextArea.tsx:698 keeps the picker closed when promptHistory.length === 0. No test types ! with empty history and asserts that Enter sends.
Full-width trigger: ! is tested only as a predicate in context-mentions.spec.ts:596-598. No ChatTextArea test types ! and checks that the picker opens.
Add one test for each path. Each test should assert the observable result: the selected row for Tab and arrow keys, and the sent message or closed picker for empty history.

@yarcowang Thanks for adding the tests. The Tab, ArrowDown, and full-width trigger tests cover the requested paths.
The empty-history test still needs a direct assertion that the picker is closed. At Line 931, Third prompt is absent from the fixture, so the assertion would also pass if the picker opened with a no-results option. Please assert that the picker itself is absent and keep the Enter assertion.

Learning: Regression evidence: Fail only when a concrete changed behavior lacks focused coverage at the lowest valid test layer, tests merely mirror implementation, an affected error/negative/unset branch is omitted, or a durable visible UI change lacks its required Playwright component snapshot. Do not demand tests for unchanged behavior, mechanical configuration, or every branch without a plausible regression scenario. Cite the changed behavior and missing evidence.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Replace the title attribute selector with a user-visible query.
The test locates the picker row with container.querySelector('[title="!dpl"]'). This selector depends on internal markup. A text or role query is more resilient and matches the project's testing conventions. Use screen.queryByText("!dpl"), or a role query, if the row exposes a role. Keep the textarea value in mind: queryByText does not match textarea value, so the query reads only picker rows.

Test mouse selection of a history row.
A regression in ContextMenu’s click dispatch can break mouse selection without failing the keyboard tests. Add a controlled-component test that clicks a row and checks the draft, picker dismissal, and onSend.

In the ChatTextArea tests, add a controlled-component test that opens the
history picker, clicks a history row, and verifies the draft updates, the picker
dismisses, and onSend is not called. Use the existing history fixture and
render/query patterns in the surrounding tests to exercise mouse selection.

A leading "!" or "!" in the chat input opens a picker with the prompts of the current task, newest first. A query after the trigger filters the list with fuzzy matching, for example !fix.
Selecting a row replaces the whole input with that prompt. It does not send the message, so the user can edit the text first. Escape closes the picker.
The picker does not open for an exclamation mark inside a message ("Great!", "if (!x)") or for a markdown image ("
").
The input placeholder now shows "! for user history" between the command hint and the drag hint. All 18 locales carry the new chat:historyHint key.

Description
The original idea is trying to impove the user experience when facing long turn messages. But after a research,
turn rail (message minimap)is not a good idea for current solution.Current valid solution is using arrows in chat box to find the history prompts ( It works, but not very user friendly.)
My solution is to add a '!' command just like '@ for context, / for commands', '!' can trigger user prompt history menu. (! is a famous command under linux for history, I think it is easily accepted)
