Feature Request: Collapse Copilot Chat Prompt Input Box Into a Thin Status Bar
It would be extremely useful to have the Copilot chat prompt input box collapsible into a thin, single‑row panel.
This collapsed state should:
- Reduce the input box to a minimal status bar showing the latest system/user message or status line
- Include small action icons (e.g., expand, shortcuts, quick actions) for fast access without reopening the full input area
- Preserve vertical space when reviewing long chat histories or working in narrow layouts
- Prevent accidental focus capture while still keeping essential controls visible
- Maintain a clean, unobtrusive UI during read‑only or reference‑heavy workflows
A simple toggle (chevron, hotkey, or UI button) to collapse/expand the input box — combined with the thin status bar — would significantly improve usability and reduce visual clutter.
