Add configuration for Kettle (/buddy) bubble persistence
Resolved 💬 4 comments Opened Apr 6, 2026 by emeffinsteve0 Closed Apr 9, 2026
Request
Add configuration settings to control the buddy (/buddy) speech bubble persistence, including:
- Configurable timeout duration (how long bubbles stay visible before auto-dismissing)
- Option to disable auto-dismiss entirely (permanently persistent bubbles)
Current behavior
Kettle's suggestions disappear automatically after a short, fixed duration. This makes it difficult to read the suggestion before it vanishes.
Desired behavior
Users should be able to configure:
- The bubble dismiss timeout (in seconds/milliseconds)
- An option to keep bubbles persistent until manually dismissed
This could be added to settings.json similar to other UI customization options like spinnerTipsEnabled.
