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

While reading thru claude's LONG output, I need to respond to multiple points. The input is off the screen so I either can't see what I'm typing or I have to scroll back and forth between the output and input.

Proposed Solution

I propose the output be it's own 'pane' that can be scrolled independent and the input be a few lines across the bottom that stays in place. That way I can address each item and see it on the screen while i'm typing my response.

TL;DR

Implement a separate, scrollable output pane and a fixed input section at the bottom to improve usability.

Guidance

  • Consider using a library or framework that supports split-pane or multi-pane layouts to achieve the proposed solution.
  • Evaluate the feasibility of implementing a scrolling output pane that can be controlled independently of the input section.
  • Investigate existing CLI tools or applications that have similar functionality to gather inspiration and potential implementation details.
  • Assess the potential impact on the existing codebase and identify any necessary refactorings or adjustments to accommodate the new layout.

Notes

The proposed solution requires significant changes to the existing UI layout and may involve substantial code modifications. The feasibility of this feature request depends on the specific technologies and frameworks used in the project.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implement a basic, scrollable output pane and a fixed input section as a proof-of-concept to demonstrate the feasibility and usability of the proposed solution. This will allow for further refinement and iteration before fully integrating the feature into the main codebase.
