Summary

I’d like to propose a feature that allows users to write and save custom prompts for modifying the request body using AI, and then trigger these prompts via keyboard shortcuts.

Use Case

One of the most common use cases for modifying a request body is using AI to randomly populate the fields with sample or test data.

In most scenarios, the prompt used for AI generation doesn’t change much. It’s often a simple instruction like:

"Randomly populate the fields with info."

Because of this simplicity and repetitive nature, it would be very useful to treat it like a reusable macro.

Proposed Functionality

Allow users to define custom prompts for AI-based request body generation.
Enable saving these prompts under a name or shortcut label.
Allow triggering the saved prompt via a keyboard shortcut.
(Optional) Provide a modal preview before applying the changes, or allow silent replacement for faster workflows.

Why should this be worked on?

Benefits

Significantly improves developer productivity by removing repetitive steps.
Makes AI-based workflows faster and more seamless.
Encourages more usage of the AI features by making them accessible through repeatable, user-defined actions.
Reduces the need to rewrite the same prompt multiple times—write once, reuse whenever needed.
