# Story: Auto-focus Chat Input on Startup
|
||||
|
||||
## User Story
|
||||
**As a** User
|
||||
**I want** the cursor to automatically appear in the chat input box when the app starts
|
||||
**So that** I can immediately start typing without having to click into the input field first.
|
||||
|
||||
## Acceptance Criteria
|
||||
* [x] When the app loads and a project is selected, the chat input box should automatically receive focus
|
||||
* [x] The cursor should be visible and blinking in the input field
|
||||
* [x] User can immediately start typing without any additional clicks
|
||||
* [x] Focus should be set after the component mounts
|
||||
* [x] Should not interfere with other UI interactions
|
||||
|
||||
## Out of Scope
|
||||
* Auto-focus when switching between projects (only on initial load)
|
||||
* Remembering cursor position across sessions
|
||||
* Focus management for other input fields
|
||||
|
||||
## Implementation Notes
|
||||
* Use React `useEffect` hook to set focus on component mount
|
||||
* Use a ref to reference the input element
|
||||
* Call `inputRef.current?.focus()` after component renders
|
||||
* Ensure it works consistently across different browsers
