## Features

### Build AI Conversations with the New `chat` Prompt

You can use the new `chat` prompt to create a chat interface for your scripts. The `chat` prompt returns a `messages` array that you can inspect to see the messages that were sent and received.

It supports keyboard navigation so you can press the up/down arrow keys to navigate through the messages and copy/paste them. You can also use `shortcuts` the same way you would with other prompts.

```js
// Name: Chat Hello World

import "@johnlindquist/kit"

let messages = await chat({
  onSubmit: input => {
    chat.addMessage(`You said, "${input}"`)
  },
})

inspect(messages)
```

The `kit-examples` repo (bundled with new installs) has an example of using the latest ChatGPT model:

### The `eyeDropper` Color Picker

You can now use the `eyeDropper` function to pick a color from anywhere on your screen. It returns an object with `sRGBHex` to align with Chrome's Eyedropper tool.

> Note: Unfortunately, windows restricts color picking to the foreground window. Still investigating a workaround.

```js
// Name: Testing Get Color

import "@johnlindquist/kit"

await hide()
let value = await eyeDropper()
await editor(value.sRGBHex)

```

### Node 18.12.1

Script Kit now bundles Node 18.12.1. (Previous scripts ran on Node 16.17.2).

### New Settings in `~/.kit/db/app.json` Features

- "mini" boolean - Use Script Kit in a much smaller window
- "termFont" string - Set the font for the terminal
- "cachePrompt" boolean - If you experience issues with the prompt position caching logic, disable it so is _always_ show in the center of the screen
- "convertKeymap" boolean - Script Kit auto converts to your selected OS keymap (dvorak, colemak, etc). There have been a few reports of this conflicting with Portuguese keyboards. If you experience issues, disable this setting.
- "searchDebounce" boolean - by default, Script Kit will debounce when your choices list has over >1000 items. It's mostly a precaution and you can disable it if you'd like.

The defaults are as follows:
```json
{
    "mini": false,
    "termFont": "monospace",
    "cachePrompt": true,
    "convertKeymap": true,
    "searchDebounce": true
}
```

## Fixes

- Fixed a bug where `theme` was reset to the default when waking from sleep
- Fixed the `Open in Script Kit` urls for Windows users
- Fixed Calculator sizing from main menu
- `await npm("package-name")`  will now mark a package as an "external" dependency in TypeScript so you can use import statements for packages that aren't installed yet and your script will still compile
- Other minor bug fixes
- Fixed installation issues when dealing with certs/proxies

## Experimental

### `toast()`

You can try out the experimental `toast("Copied")` feature. I'm still working out the API, so there's no "onClick" or anything, but you should be able to pass the other toast properties (this uses `react-toastify`) explained [here](https://fkhadra.github.io/react-toastify/dispatch-toast-outside-of-react-component)
