Description

**Mood:** 😊
**Category:** Requests and ideas

I love the side panel with terminal and browser extension. however currently theonly thing you can do is put them above eachother. when working on wide screens (or dual monitor setup) having multiple windows side by side might be more useful than things above eachother.

in my perfect world i would have 2 browsers and a terminal all side by side on my massive 32:9 monitor

having everything INSIDE the copilot app makes session switching awesome because everything lives inside that session

Research direction

Start at the /chat experience and inspect how the terminal and browser extension panels are currently arranged. Define the layout behavior for multiple panels on wide or dual-monitor displays, then verify that two browsers and a terminal can appear side by side while remaining in the same session.
