Problem

  • In my setup as shown in the screenshot, less than half the available screen real estate is being used for the chat conversation.
  • The same setup works perfectly fine with Claude Code

Potential solutions

  • Enable users to customize top and bottom sections
  • Better defaults

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

  • #570: context and cost display should be prioritized over directory path when screen width is narrow
  • #3547: [FEATURE]: Small screen compatibility
  • #525: Screen Layout Compressed...
  • #4130: Top bar UX improvement

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

To start with, here are some multi-line strings that should be converted to single-line strings:

  1. Chat name ("Centralizing neovim keymaps...")
  2. Statusline cwd ("~/repos/nix-config...")
  3. The string that says "interruptagent"

Hi I just tested the latest release and I don't see much difference vs. the original screenshot I shared. What exactly changed? All the issues I mentioned earlier are still there:

I forgot to come back here, there was actually some stuff some people didnt like about it so i had to revert but we will do a better version again soon, I may just introduce a toggle to hide the header and some tiny stuff in the meantime

Take a look at this screen recording with neovim on the left and opencode on the right. Observe what happens to the statusline when we shrink the width of each pane. In Neovim it's always one line. In Opencode it expands to several lines which doesn't make sense. Can't we get Opencode to behave more like Neovim statusline?

Just want to express my interest here. I still often use smaller terminal windows, like the classic 80x24, and the experience is not that great; only 10 of the 24 lines available are used for output:
