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

What specific functionality you want:

Add a keybind or UI option to toggle (show/hide) the Review panel on the right side of the Desktop GUI.

Current behavior:

In the Desktop app, there is a "Review" panel on the right side that displays file diffs for the current session. When no changes have been made, it shows "No changes in this session yet."

Currently, there appears to be no way to:

  • Hide/collapse this panel via keyboard shortcut
  • Toggle its visibility through the command palette
  • Drag to collapse it (the |||| icon doesn't seem interactive)

Why it would be beneficial:

  • Screen real estate: On smaller screens or when focusing on conversation, users may want to maximize the chat area
  • Consistency: The TUI version has sidebar_toggle keybind (<leader>b), but there's no equivalent for the Review panel in Desktop
  • User preference: Some users may prefer a cleaner UI without the diff viewer always visible

Suggested implementation:

  1. Add a keybind like review_toggle (e.g., <leader>r or Cmd+Shift+R) to toggle the Review panel
  2. Make the |||| separator draggable to resize/collapse the panel
  3. Add "Toggle Review Panel" to the command palette

Environment

  • OpenCode Desktop (GUI version)
  • macOS

Screenshots

The Review panel is visible on the right side showing "No changes in this session yet." - there's no apparent way to hide it.
