height/line-limit of composer should be configurable/higher

for jzk

Could be useful if people were composing large message/code snippets in Riot.im?

+1 Would also be useful when using bullets, or formatting in general. Even on bigger screens it is still fiddling in a relatively cramped space. It would be nice to have an option to increase the composer space for a better overview of a larger message/text.

Customer suggests they would find this usefu (and I would like to see it too!)

This is a popular ask from our users.

Users also say/complain that the composer is too anonymous with a height of one, line sitting at the very bottom of the screen.

So ideally it should also be possible to set a minimum height, as well as allowing the composer to grow to at least about half the vertical size of the room timeline.

Some measurements/comparisons from #18024 wrt composer size compared to window size;

• Element: ~10%
• Telegram: ~15-20%
• Discord: ~50%
• Slack: ~70%

Any idea when this will be looked at? :)

[zhubonan]

Would be good to have this option - typing code snippets with only a few lines visible is not convenient at all.

@t3chguy Care to explain why this is 'not planned' (according to the tag you added in the duplicate I had opened after not finding this one)?

Just because a sponsor retracted their payment? It's a popular ask, according to this issue, where also there is no explanation at all.

[Moini]

Oh, wait. Sorry, this one isn't closed - but then, why was the 'not planned' tag added?

[t3chguy]

@Moini you'd have to ask GitHub as to why they consider duplicates as not planned.

[Moini]

@t3chguy Lol, thanks! That's really odd.
