Personas (system prompts) should be selectable directly in the chat window.

Describe the need of your request

Currently, ProxyAI offers the option to configure multiple personas, which, as I understand it, correspond to the system prompt that the plugin uses for requests in each chat. The ability to define different system prompts is very helpful from my perspective, but unfortunately, selecting the persona/system prompt for the respective chat is currently somewhat cumbersome. To change the persona/system prompt, one has to go into the plugin settings to change it there. Afterward, the persona is then changed for all prompts and not just for the current chat.

Proposed solution

I suggest that the persona (system prompt) can be quickly selected and changed directly in the chat window for the current chat, e.g., using a dropdown where the link to the persona is currently located.

Additional context

System prompts are a great way to provide context to the respective model, regardless of the current task. For example, you can have a persona for a Java backend developer that precisely defines how the code to be generated should look, which frameworks and libraries to use, and so on. The same would then apply analogously, for instance, to a JavaScript developer persona.

Subsequently, you should be able to quickly and easily select within the current chat which of these personas/system prompts should be used for the current task or chat.
