Feature Request
Description
Add an option to pin/fix the input box at the bottom of the terminal, similar to OpenAI's Codex CLI. Currently, the input follows the content flow, which can be disorienting when there's a lot of output.
Desired Behavior
- Input box stays fixed at the bottom of the terminal
- Output/responses scroll above the input area
- Similar to a split-pane layout where the input is always visible and accessible
Why
- Better UX when working with long outputs — the input is always in a predictable position
- Codex CLI already implements this pattern and users find it intuitive
- Reduces cognitive load when switching between reading output and typing new prompts
Suggested Implementation
- Could be a setting like
"inputPosition": "fixed-bottom"insettings.json - Or a CLI flag like
--sticky-input
Thank you!
