Edit and re-submit in chat mode

[PkmX]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
In chat mode, it is not unusual that you have to refine or re-phrase the message you sent because the AI doesn't quite understand the prompt. Right now this requires the user to clarify in a follow-up question (which eats your context limit and potentially confuses less-capable LLMs) or start a new conversation entirely (need to retype or copy/paste the entire history leading up to the message you want to edit).

Describe the solution you'd like
Add an edit button to each message that allows you to edit and re-submit. This feature is already present in many other chat UIs.

Gradio provides a ChatInferface that looks like this:

And I have to say, after getting used to the Undo(remove response from model, remove user message, put removed user message back into input textbox to allow editing) and Retry (regenerate response from model) I found it to be much more useful and intuitive than the way ChatGPT lets you edit a previous message.

Maybe two simple Undo and Retry buttons are enough?

Either way seems fine for me. The clear button would be useful as well since sometimes I just want to ask a quick question without cluttering the conversation history.

Thanks for the great suggestion, so are we referring to only the last submitted message for editing or individual messages inside the conversation history?

Many thanks.

For me any of the solutions would be fine
