Description

Since v0.8.53, the "regenerate" button is missing after getting a response from the LLM in the chat pane (Ctrl + L). I only see buttons for copy, thumbs up and thumbs down. Before v0.8.53, there was also a "regenerate" button.
The regenerate button was extremely useful for local LLMs, which often give wrong responses the first couple of times.
My main use case is that I'm using a custom slash command to reformat code in a specfic way, so I have to keep regenerating until I get a response which is valid. Please restore the regenerate button, otherwise I have to remain on v0.8.52 !

To reproduce

Ctrl + L to get the chat pane.
Give a prompt, press enter.
The agent responds. Below the response, there are buttons for copying, thumbs up and thumbs down. But since v0.8.53, there is no longer an additional button for regenerating the response.

v0.8.52:

v0.8.53 and 0.8.54 (latest):

Log output

No response

Thanks for the feedback here @prashantraina , we've had a few other users request that we add this back too. The reason we removed it is that we felt that section of buttons was getting a bit crowded.

I'm curious, did you know that you can resubmit the prompt just by hitting "enter" again from the original message?

That was the other reason we removed it, i.e. you can accomplish a "regeneration" without the button.

Oh, I had no idea you could do that. Thanks for letting me know.
