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

Right now I'm using OC only for prompting, and I'm verifying changes in my IDE. I don't need this review pane here. It's not even a problem it's being shown, the problem is I can't hide it.

I basically have OC on the left 1/3 of my monitor, the rest 2/3 is for IDE. Hence the need for hiding it :)

P.S. Just tried OC and liking it so far!

Latest release is mobile responsive (release is still publishing, give it a bit and then upgrade). Let me know what you think!

@adrians5j curios why you're using desktop over TUI? We're in the early process of trying to understand who will use what, any insight is valuable!

I tested it a bit more, and the fix helps. Still, having the hide button on the review pane would help 😊 .

Why desktop?

Well...

I just like desktop more over TUIs.

I like when a combo of being able to click around but also execute slash commands in the text input.

I like the modern look of it over CLI.

I see you have a ton of functionality built in the TUI, pushing what's possible when it comes to building UIs in terminal. Still, TUI kinda makes me feel locked / uncomfortable.

I like when I paste a sshot into the textarea, that I can see a little thumbnail.
I love how you've still added a terminal at the bottom too. Definitely helpful.

One thing I was hoping to see from TUI was having it running inside of Webstorm's terminal. Was hoping that way I wouldn't need to have two windows side-by-side (75%IDE - 25%OC, visible in sshot). But within WS's terminal, OC did not render properly. In Warp, OC rendered perfectly fine.

So yeah, just a couple of random thoughts. :)

I guess overall, I'm just a desktop / more visual type of a guy.

P.S. I came to OC from IntelliJ's Copilot integration, which is still bad and not frequently-enough updated, so I wanted to try something new. This is much closer to what I wanted, so thanks for that!

Been using oc for a few weeks now. This "Review cant be hidded" issue is back. Im using the latest build: v1.1.39.

On a side note, editing a prompt is plagued with hotkeys that I cant seem to delete - specifically "up" is going up to some other prompt, instead of classic behaviour of going up 1 line in a long multi-line prompt.
Also: classic mac Cmd+Left - go to the begginig of line, and Cmd+Up - go to the 1st line are binded to something else.
Basically editing more or less complex prompt (multi-line) experience on Mac is pfff.

Doing:

"keybinds": {
        "history_previous": "none",
        "history_next": "none",
        "input_move_up": "none",
        "input_move_down": "none"
    }

does not help. These are custom hotkeys that destroy classic mac text editing in a text field.
