You can customize prompts and the menu order by doing the following:
Under Menus and ChatGPT prompts
, add a menu by adding this code:
MenuPopup.Add("&8 - Text_To_Appear", Function_To_Execute_When_Selected)
The character next to the "and" sign (&) is the hotkey for that particular menu that, when pressed, activates it.
You can also add a line separator using this code:
MenuPopup.Add()
You can add a prompt using this code:
Function_To_Execute_When_Selected(*) {
ChatGPT_Prompt := "Your prompt here:"
Status_Message := "Status message that will show while processing the request"
ProcessRequest(ChatGPT_Prompt, Status_Message, Retry_Status)
}
You can change the activation hotkey under Hotkey. See here for the list of possible hotkeys.
