Problem
The Plans and Tasks sidebar panels in Claude Desktop have a fixed default position. When working with agent teams, these panels are frequently referenced, but the current fixed layout may not suit every user's workflow or monitor setup.
Proposed Solution
Add a setting to configure the default position of sidebar panels (Plans, Tasks, etc.):
- Top / Bottom / Left / Right
- Per-panel configuration (e.g., Plans on the right, Tasks on the bottom)
- Accessible via Settings UI or
settings.json
Use Case
- Users with wide monitors may prefer side panels on the left/right
- Users with ultra-wide or stacked monitors may prefer top/bottom
- When managing multiple agent tasks, having the Tasks panel in a preferred position improves workflow efficiency
Environment
- Claude Desktop (macOS/Windows)
