   │ I think that maybe you should probably consider the fact that    │
   │ it might be a good idea to implement a new feature that would    │
   │ allow users to search through the codebase to find functions     │
   │ and classes. This could be really helpful for large projects.    │
   └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

STEP 3: Select the text
   • Drag to select all the text
   • Or press: Ctrl+A (select all)

STEP 4: Right-click on the selected text

STEP 5: Click "Optimize this Prompt"

STEP 6: Choose optimization mode:

STEP 7: See the magic! ✨
   • Notification shows before/after token counts
   • Click "Replace" to replace original text
   • Click "Show Diff" to see side-by-side comparison

│ allow users to search through the entire codebase in order to    │
│ find specific functions and classes that they might be looking   │
│ for. This is something that I believe could be really useful     │
│ and helpful for developers who are working on large projects."   │
