Feature hasn't been suggested before.

  • I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.

Describe the enhancement you want to request

Hello there! The current behavior of "Edit" agent action includes showing the diff: before versus after. It is incredibly helpful feature that helps to trace changes been made at each step during agent run.

The only thing, which is missing, is that displayed lines could be quite long and there's no way to scroll that pane horizontally it in TUI, to see them all.

Appreciate if you can consider to add either a scrolling method (which I assume could be tricky both to implement and to use) or a setting to wrap long lines (more preferable).

This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

  • #489: Similar request for handling long lines that wrap, specifically mentions URLs not being line-wrapped and suggests a "lo-fi" display toggle
  • #193: Reports weird line wrap behavior inside responses
  • #3333: Reports content being covered when dealing with long lines in the interface
  • #2736: Similar issue with content being hidden behind long prompts
  • #1967: Related to display issues where input fields cover existing content due to long text

Feel free to ignore if none of these address your specific case.

We can turn on wrapping here optionally. The horizontal scrolling is actually not that hard, because the text already has a viewport that just™ needs to be translated horizontally. So that will be supported going forward.

@kommander altough horizontal scrolling is obviously a good thing, I do not think it addresses the main problem, which is #4825
