Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Yes. Three problems currently create friction for regular users:
Scrolling: As the AI generates a response, the screen auto‑scrolls to follow the new text, pushing previously generated content upward. This prevents the user from reading earlier parts of the reasoning or answer while generation is still in progress. The constant "push‑up" effect is distracting and removes control from the user.
Language detection: The model defaults to a single English dialect that may not match the user's local conventions. Users must repeatedly specify preferences like "use North American English" or "use British English" in prompts, which adds unnecessary friction.
Plain‑text‑only output: The AI currently outputs only plain text. Users who work with formatted documents (job applications, project plans, reports) must manually reapply heading styles, font colors, bold, italic, bullet lists, and paragraph rules after pasting into a word processor. This is time‑consuming and error‑prone.
Describe the solution you'd like.
Suggestion 1: User‑Controlled Scrolling During Response Generation
Newly generated text should remain off‑screen (below the visible viewport) while the model writes.
The visible screen should stay static, showing the last line of the completed reasoning or previous output, until the user manually scrolls down.
When generation stops, the last line of the thinking block should remain at the top of the viewport, and the user scrolls at their own pace to read the full answer.
Suggestion 2: System‑Level Language and Regional Format Detection
Enable the model to automatically detect the user's system language and regional settings (e.g., en‑CA, en‑US, en‑GB) and align its output with the corresponding spelling, phrasing, and formatting conventions without requiring a prompt instruction.
Allow manual overrides when a user deliberately wants a different dialect.
Suggestion 3: Support for Rich Text Formatting
If formatted text is pasted into the AI, the AI should reproduce an updated or altered version preserving the original formatting: text size, font colors, heading styles, paragraphing rules, bold, italic, underlining, bullet and numbered lists, line spacing, and indentation.
At minimum, support the formatting functions and fonts available in major word processors like Microsoft Word.
Allow rich‑text output directly in the chat interface so users do not need to re‑format after pasting into a document.
Describe alternatives you've considered.
For scrolling: manually pausing generation, but this stops the entire process rather than letting output accumulate off‑screen.
For language: adding a dialect instruction to every prompt, which works but adds friction and is easy to forget.
For formatting: manually restyling all pasted output in Word, which is time‑consuming and breaks workflow.
Additional context.
These suggestions come from regular, practical use of DeepSeek for job‑search documentation, project planning, and professional writing. They would benefit all users who rely on the platform for structured, formatted work and who value a smooth, distraction‑free reading experience during generation.
