Description
Feature summary
Allow users to increase the chat width beyond the current default size for improved readability of code, logs, and other wide content.
What problem are you trying to solve?
Currently, the chat panel supports a fixed/default width and can be reduced in size, but there is no option to increase the width beyond the default.
For users working with code snippets, logs, JSON payloads, tables, or long technical discussions, the current width can be limiting and results in excessive line wrapping.
Requested enhancement:
Add a setting or draggable resize handle that allows increasing the chat width beyond the current default.
Ideally, support multiple width presets (e.g. Narrow, Default, Wide, Extra Wide) or a fully resizable layout.
Persist the selected width between sessions.
