Problem Statement

When using the code tab in the app I would like the ability to customize the layout of the windows and have each new session use the same layout. For example, I like to have the files open on the left, and then when I open a file, have it show to the right of that, and then have the chat window that I'm working with at the bottom of the screen.

Proposed Solution

I would like the ability to setup a layout and set it as the default for all future sessions.

Alternative Solutions

Manually configure each session
