A command to open an existing (past) chat doesn't exist. I frequently have the need to re-open past chats.

Hey @fishnux

To be on the same page, you know that the chat history is accessible in the chat window and in the sidebar?

Hi @PriNova

Thank you, I wasn't fully aware. It still needs an excessive number of clicks. Now, to re-open a Cody chat I click the icon in the top right corner, which opens Cody Commands, and then I create a new chat and follow the instructions described in your screenshot to re-open the existing chat.

P.S.: I don't like opening chats in the Activity bar (because they open on the left side instead of the right)
