Title: Add Chat Settings Invocation via @ Keyword (#2850)

Hello friends. I saw one of the feature enhancement issue in chainlit repo #2580. PR introduces a new way for users to invoke chat settings using the '@' keyword. The feature enhances input interaction by supporting both '@' and '/' triggers:

• Typing @ now displays the chat settings input prompt.
• Typing / continues to show input values as before.
• This dual-trigger approach improves accessibility and flexibility for users interacting with chat settings.

All relevant UI and backend logic have been updated to support this behavior.

Let me know if you'd like to add screenshots to related issues or discussions from the [#2580].

Thanks.

@Barani05072002 you want to invoke chat settings with the @ sign, not commands? Are you using a multi-agent framework?

Chainlit is behind the curve on multi-agent support. It's one of the top major features requests. I'd love to see a right-hand side pane to do this because you're not alone. Sub agents can have way too many settings to fit in chat_settings.

Thanks for the feedback! Yes, in this pull request, using the @ sign allows us to invoke chat settings, not commands. We already have the option to invoke commands using the / sign. In Chainlit, the chat settings can include multiple select-options, so I added a feature that lets you invoke chat settings using a combination of @ and /. When you click @, it shows the chat settings input, and after choosing the required option, you can use / to select the appropriate value.

That’s how it works for now — currently, I can only invoke the Select type options from the chat settings, not sliders or radio buttons. Let me know if you’d like to see the code I used in this image, or if we want to enhance it further to support other types.

I think this would be a temporary workaround and should be configurable in config.toml. Please add example and explanation to the docs along with the Select-only limitation.

Hello @hayescode, I’ve added documentation for invoking Chat Settings using the combination of @ and / symbols. You can find it in docs docs #269.

Could you please review and merge it? Let me know if any changes are needed. Thanks!
