Problem

With the plugin shortcut Crtl+J is possible to reference code from files in the chat panel. However is not possible to reference code from the previous chat response.

Solution

One of the plugin's main points is reducing copy-paste. Therefore, a button to refer to code snippets from previous responses in the chat would be a great help. Also, implementing the Crtl+J shortcut in the chat pane would be awesome.

The images below show how this feature works in Cursor IDE.

^does this mean that nothing happens when you are inside of the chat panel and you press Ctrl+J? I think we may have resolved this bug in the last release

What sorts of questions are you usually asking when you quote a code block? The model can already see the entirety of the chat history, so I'm wondering if this is always necessary. Might be, just not a workflow I'm familiar with
