[Feature Request] Add slash commands autocomplete to WebChat/Control UI #38858

Description

Problem

Currently, the WebChat and Control UI do not support slash commands autocomplete. When users type / in the chat input, there is no dropdown or popup showing available commands.

Current Behavior

  • Discord/Telegram: Native commands with autocomplete work well
  • WebChat/Control UI: Users must type commands manually without any suggestions

Expected Behavior

When typing / in WebChat/Control UI:

  1. Show a dropdown list of available commands
  2. Filter the list as user types
  3. Allow selecting a command from the list

Why This Matters

  • Improves user experience, especially for new users who don't know all commands
  • Makes WebChat/Control UI more competitive with native apps like Discord
  • Reduces typing errors in command names

Possible Implementation

  • Add a command dropdown component to the Vite + Lit Control UI
  • Fetch available commands from Gateway (similar to how Discord does it)
  • Could start with basic commands: /help, /status, /model, etc.

Environment


Thanks for considering this feature! 🦞
