Problem Statement
I often work with long context and plan work packages between compactions. I would like to see current number of tokens in the context.
Proposed Solution
Always show context size as in verbose mode. Or allow turning it on and off independently from general verbosity.
Alternative Solutions
- Verbose mode switched on shows the token counter, but adds too much verbosity to the main console.
- I tried with
/statuslineto configure that, but it keeps showingctx: 0/0 tok
Priority
Low - Nice to have
