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.
