Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When I open a chainlit application running in copilot mode, i always have to click again in the text input area to enter my quesiton.
Describe the solution you'd like My sugesstion is that copilot mode follows the same logic as the "normal" frontend: directly focus the text area input so that the user can directly start typing in his/her question.
Describe alternatives you've considered Disregard the feature request and keep the current behavior or make the change configurable with an config variable.
Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.
