Hello! thanks for your great work.

Is it possible to set default values for the dropdown menus in the @codebase chat entry?

For some tricky questions in the chat, it is useful to search over a large number of results and apply reasoning, so would be nice to be able to set these options by default. otherwise is a bit tedious to change these values all the time that I type @¢odebase

thank you in advance
