Further, there is now a more lightweight UX that can optionally be enabled. With the `setting(inlineChat.hideOnRequest:true)` setting, inline chat hides as soon as a request is made. It then minimizes into the chat-editing overlay, which enables accepting or discarding changes, or restoring the inline chat control.
