Feature Request: The interface should be a separate window instead of default sidebar #118

It would be better to get a separate window to write prompts instead of using the sidebar because most of the people has a 10% wide sidebar and we have to increase the width.

Sounds like a great optional alternative setting for those with multi-monitor setups but the current behavior is perfect for working on single screens / laptops.

even for a single screen user, there should be a setting option to see it outside of default sidebar. I mean when I clcik the extension icon, it should open a popup on the right side instead of left. I have to resize the sidebar to see the prompt.

Oh I agree, people have different tastes and I think your request absolutely should be possible. I just really like the current method as default and would like it to remain the default is all.

For a separate window, I found using Chrome's More Tools >> Create Shortcut > Open as Window works really well with OpenAPI's regular chat window. I would imagine Firefox has a similar alternative.

Thanks - you could also drag the extension's icon to another sidebar or the bottom section of the VS Code. Or simply right click on the extension's icon and move to right sidebar. Here's the information regarding sidebars https://code.visualstudio.com/api/ux-guidelines/sidebars. The in-editor responses are also coming out in the next releases ;)
