[FEATURE]: Add 'Jump to Answer Start' Button #9794

Closed

Description

@CodeCasterX

Feature hasn't been suggested before.

  • I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.

Describe the enhancement you want to request

In the current development version, a "Jump to Latest" button has been added at the bottom of conversations, which is a useful feature.

However, during actual usage, I've discovered a more common use case: when AI responses are long, I often need to jump to the beginning of the current response to re-read the AI's complete answer, rather than jumping to the very bottom of the conversation.

Suggested Implementation:

  1. Add a "Jump to Answer Start" button next to the existing "Jump to Latest" button
  2. When clicked, the page automatically scrolls to the starting position of the current AI response
  3. Alternatively, make the "Jump to Latest" button a smart button:
    • If the current position is in the middle or at the start of an AI response, the button functions as "Jump to Answer Start"
    • If already at the answer start, the button changes to "Jump to Latest"

Use Case Example:

  • AI generates a long response (containing multiple file modifications, code snippets, etc.)
  • User scrolls to the middle of the response to view specific content
  • User wants to re-understand the entire response context from the beginning
  • At this point, a shortcut to return to the answer start is needed, rather than manually scrolling

This feature would significantly improve the user experience when reading long responses.

    Thanks for the duplicate check! I've reviewed all the suggested issues, and while they're related to navigation, none of them address this specific use case. Here's the breakdown:

    #5783 - Scroll down UI button when !bottom

    • That issue requests a button to jump to the bottom of the conversation (which is already implemented in dev)
    • My request is to jump to the start of the current AI response, which is the opposite direction and serves a different purpose

    #3337 - Navigation Shortcut to Jump Between User Messages

    • That issue is about navigating between user messages (User → User)
    • My request is about jumping to the beginning of an AI response
    • Completely different navigation targets

    #9227 - Add ability to (un)mark points in the thread

    • That proposes a vim-like bookmarking system requiring manual mark placement
    • My request is for automatic navigation to the start of the current AI response without manual marks
    • Different implementation approach and workflow

    #4092 - Better navigation of output, alternative vim mode

    • That mentions gg and G shortcuts for jumping to top/bottom of the entire conversation history
    • My request is more granular: jump to the start of the specific AI response currently being read
    • Different scope and granularity

    #6548 - Virtualized scrolling + paginated message loading

    • That's about performance optimization and message loading for long sessions
    • It's a backend/infrastructure concern, not a UI navigation feature
    • Not related to my request

    Summary: My feature request is unique - it's about quickly navigating to the beginning of the current AI response when reading long responses. This specific navigation pattern (start of current response, not top/bottom of conversation, not user messages, not manual bookmarks) isn't covered by any of the listed issues.

    The use case is: AI generates a long response → I scroll down to read details → I want to quickly jump back to where the AI started this response to re-read the context → current "Jump to Latest" button doesn't help here because it takes me to the bottom, not the start of the response.
