[FEATURE]: Floating input navigation rail for session panel #39361

Closed as duplicate

Description

@DevDengChao
  • I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.

Add a floating navigation rail for user messages in the session panel. Each user message gets a horizontal bar whose width encodes content length (short messages = narrow bars, long messages = wide bars). Hovering a bar shows a preview popup with truncated text, image thumbnails, or file icons.

Benefits:

  • Quick visual overview of message lengths in long sessions
  • Fast navigation between user messages
  • Preview message content without scrolling
  • Non-intrusive design that only appears on desktop

Proposed behavior:

  • Controlled by showInputNav setting (default: false) in Settings > Advanced
  • Only visible on non-mobile screens (768px+)
  • Bar width proportional to message text length
  • HoverCard preview showing text, images, and files
