dsh-selection-followup

When chatting with an AI in DSH, replies tend to be long and dense, yet the part you actually want to build on is often just one sentence or a short reasoning step. Manually highlighting, copying, and pasting that fragment back into the input box breaks your flow. dsh-selection-followup collapses the whole gesture into one: select the text, a small bubble pops up, click Follow-up, and the selection silently fills the input as a reference context—then your cursor sits right after it, waiting for you to type your own question. No preset templates, no rigid phrasing.

The bubble carries just two buttons and stays deliberately minimal. Follow-up writes through the native value setter plus a synthetic input event, so it plays nicely with React controlled inputs without fighting the framework. The reference is capped at 2,000 characters with automatic truncation, and the selection is snapshotted at mouseup so clicking the button never loses it. The trigger is scoped to the conversation scroll area; selecting text inside the composer will not fire the bubble. The entire plugin is purely client-side with zero host logic—simply restart dsh web and it is live.

It is aimed at DSH users who follow up frequently and prefer to circle a piece of context first, then phrase the question in their own words. If rigid prompt templates feel constraining and you would rather have a lightweight, context-aware nudge that lets you keep the conversation going, this plugin fills exactly that small gap.
