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

The user input height expands to 6-lines before scrolling is needed.

Personally, I'd set this value to 9999 lines, as I like the input message to expand to see the full input.

Having as a user configurable setting feels like a fair compromise from changing for those that might like it as-is.

Otherwise, feels like and iFrame, that has no place in a terminal.

(PS: Love what you're all doing there :)

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

  • #1967: Input field for new message covers existing messages
  • #642: Text input overlays the chat/messages
  • #5047: Make the last user prompt sticky when scrolling

These issues discuss related concerns about the expandable input field covering messages and making it difficult to see previous context. Feel free to ignore if your specific case is different from these.
