Feature request
Make the inline agents tray (the compact strip above the status line that lists running subagents, e.g. main / codex-planner Critique coin-concurrency plan) configurable in height / visible row count.
Problem
When Claude Code runs in a short terminal panel (e.g. the VS Code / Cursor integrated terminal at typical bottom-panel height), the inline agents tray only shows one or two rows — or disappears entirely. With several subagents running in parallel, there is no way to see all of them at a glance:
- Pressing
←opens FleetView, but that is a modal overlay that replaces the conversation view — you cannot watch agents and the chat at the same time. - Enlarging the terminal panel shows more tray rows, but sacrifices editor space, which defeats the purpose of a compact bottom panel.
Proposal
Any of these would solve it:
- A settings.json key (e.g.
agentTrayRowsoragentTrayHeight) to pin the tray to N rows regardless of terminal height, letting the conversation area shrink instead. - A bindable keyboard action (e.g.
app:toggleAgentTray/app:expandAgentTray) to expand/collapse the tray inline without entering the FleetView overlay. - Making the tray area mouse-resizable in the fullscreen TUI.
Environment
- Claude Code (fullscreen TUI,
"tui": "fullscreen") inside the Cursor integrated terminal - Windows 11
- Verified against the current settings schema and keybindings action list: no existing option controls this.
