Preflight Checklist

  • I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
  • This is a single feature request (not multiple features)

Problem Statement

Panel layout (sizes and positions) resets to default every time a new session starts. There is no way to save a preferred default layout, so users have to manually resize panels at the start of each session. This is a repetitive friction point that adds up over time.

Proposed Solution

Panel layout preferences should persist across sessions — either saved to a local config (e.g., ~/.claude/settings.json) or stored per device. On session start, Claude Code would restore the last-used layout automatically.

Related issues with the same underlying problem:

  • #47179 — persistent default output folder setting
  • #31923 — persist model variant settings in config

TL;DR

Implementing a feature to save and restore panel layout preferences across sessions can resolve the issue.

Guidance

  • Investigate using a local config file (e.g., ~/.claude/settings.json) to store panel layout preferences, similar to the solutions proposed in related issues #47179 and #31923.
  • Consider adding an option to store layout preferences per device, as mentioned in the proposed solution.
  • Review the code responsible for initializing the panel layout on session start to determine where the restoration of saved layout preferences can be integrated.
  • Evaluate the feasibility of implementing automatic restoration of the last-used layout on session start, as proposed.

Example

No code snippet is provided due to the lack of specific technical details in the issue.

Notes

The solution may require modifications to the application's configuration management and session initialization code. The proposed approach should be evaluated for potential impacts on user experience, data privacy, and application performance.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implement a feature to save and restore panel layout preferences, as this directly addresses the reported issue and aligns with the solutions proposed in related issues.
