Issue with Prompting in ChatGPT Application Version 1.1.0 for Windows

[Chesspower]

In the ChatGPT application version 1.1.0 for Windows, the prompting feature no longer works since recent changes regarding ChatGPT by OpenAI have been implemented.

Specifically, when typing /, nothing happens, and the prompting context menu does not appear. As this issue has persisted for several weeks, I would like to explicitly point it out with this post and kindly inform the developers of this very well-crafted app about it.

I would greatly appreciate it if the shortcut commands could be restored soon, and the prompting context menu would reappear when prompted within the app.

I'm available for further questions! Otherwise, I can only say that this app is truly a boon for my daily work. Thank you for the effort!

Best regards

Hello David, thank you for your contribution! Your illustration clearly highlights the issue just as I had previously described it.

我也遇到了这个问题。我记得最开始的时候是可以使用prompt快捷键的。后来就不行了。 我尝试过：

1. 删除.config文件，重启重建prompt，依然无效；
2. 写在软件，重装，无效；
3. 更改安装路径，无效；

现在我不知道该如何是好了，希望可以修订。 当我看到ISSUES有630+的时候，看得我脑袋直接原地爆炸。辛苦作者大大！！！

I have also encountered this problem. I remember that at the beginning, it was possible to use the prompt shortcut keys. Later, it stopped working.

I have tried the following:

1. Deleting the .config file, restarting, and rebuilding the prompt, no work;
2. Writing in the software and reinstalling it, no work;
3. Changing the installation path, no work.

Now I don't know what to do, and I hope this can be fixed. When I saw that there are over 630 ISSUES, my mind was about to explode. Kudos to the author for all the hard work!!!

这个问题必须从编程上解决。遗憾的是，目前没有任何进展。也从来没有更新过Windows应用程序，至少在我记忆中是这样。同样遗憾的是，没有任何版主或程序员在聊天中回应。

I think the problem is the creator has pretty much made this program EOL (End Of Life) and doesn't plan on providing any more updates as can be seen in the ReadMe.md file.

They recommend either using the official ChatGPT app or using his new project linked in the description.

It's a real shame, so we will probably have to wait for OpenAI to develop their own app for Windows that supports prompting.

You can kind of install ChatGPT on Windows now. If you go to Microsoft Edge, head to chatgpt.com, click the 3 dots in the top right corner of the browser, go to Apps in the context menu, and then click Install App. It will install it as a PWA on the desktop.

Also, if you don't mind manually copying the prompts into the chat, you can still use them. Maybe you can even create your own CustomGPT and upload the prompt file, then just ask it to be the person of whatever you type, for example, I want you to act as a poet and then it will fetch the poet prompt or something like that.

Here is a short gif. This shows how to install the ChatGPT PWA to your desktop:

Or you could just use the prompt file from the repo: prompts.csv

Here is the JSON version of it as well: chatgpt_prompts.json

It is probably also worth noting these as well:

Plus many more. Might even be worth checking out some GitHub Repos.

Hope this helps.
