Feature request: Allow status line positioning (above/below input area)

Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Jan 3, 2026 by coelhoxyz Closed Feb 18, 2026

Feature Request

Currently, the custom status line always appears above the input/accept edits area. It would be helpful to have an option to configure its position.

Use Case

When reviewing edits, the status line appears between the content and the accept/reject prompt, which can feel visually disruptive. Having the option to place it below the input area would provide a cleaner experience, similar to how terminal prompts work.

Proposed Solution

Add a position option to the statusLine configuration:

{
  "statusLine": {
    "type": "command",
    "command": "~/.claude/statusline.sh",
    "position": "bottom"  // or "top" (current default)
  }
}

Alternatives Considered

None - this is purely a UI positioning preference that currently has no workaround.
