Playground Thing Extension

This extensions aims to improve the OpenAI Playground experience.

Many people use OpenAI playground not only for raw api testing, but also as a replacement for the ChatGPT UI (e.g. to use GPT-4). The benefits of that are:
- It is significantly cheaper
- There is no filtration layer, so it is less censored & possibly slightly smarter
- The generation speed can be faster
- There is less rate limiting, if any
- You can alter the system prompt, temperature, and other variables.

However, for casual use (or for more than occasional testing), it is a bit rough. That's the goal of this extension: to improve the experience & polish some of the rough edges.

❇️ Features:
- Markdown for A.I. messages
- Code highlighting & copy-on-click
- Automatically refocus input textbox & restore cursor position on page refocus - (very handy when creating a prompt and switching back and forth between windows)
- Default system prompt
- Decreased system prompt div width (more free real estate for messages)
- More in the future

🛡️ How to use:
The extension will automatically run in the background when you use the playground. You do not need to turn it on manually.

🔨 Info:
There is a lot of room for other useful features, such as configurable defaults (system prompt, temperature, model...), UI, unblocking scroll lock etc. If you are a developer and want to contribute, you are more than welcome to make a PR https://github.com/AspireOne/playground-thing.

Note: There is a possibility of bugs and if OpenAI changes the Playground page significantly, it might break until updated.
