What's Wrong?

The prompt preview overlay consumes large portions of the output viewport and makes it extremely difficult to read text and interact with the program. Lack of settings to turn this feature off exacerbates the problem.

What Should Happen?

  1. The preview should be optional and disabled by default.
  2. The preview should be collapsed to a single line by default with a expansion toggle allowing the user to view the whole prompt, and then minimize it again.
