Description

### Description of the new feature / enhancement

Add a floating pop up menu of recent AI prompts that I used previously.

### Scenario when this would be used?

Since the result of AI models is unpredictable I often find I need to rewrite or add something to my previous prompt. But it disappears as soon as I sent the request so I have to rewrite it completely. If I copy it instead - it occupies my clipboard and erases the clipboard data that I wanted to process. I want to see at least 5 recent prompts history that I can select from and edit after that.

Research direction

Start by locating the Paste with AI prompt input and its submission flow. Define how at least five recent prompts are retained, displayed in a floating menu, selected, and edited without replacing existing clipboard data; the issue does not name files or tests to run.
