What steps can reproduce the bug?

I am usually working with multiple running prompts within a project (1-3).

What is the expected behavior?

  • it is easy to switch between prompts
  • it is easy to see which prompts just finished (unread)
  • it is easy to identify which prompts are running
  • extension shows more past chats (or it is configurable how many)
  • extension (could) group running / finished / past chats in collapsible sections

What do you see instead?

The current extension does not do a great job in being able to switch between them effectively.

First of all, the vertical space is unused and only 3 conversations are shown.

Second, the icons (running, finished) are super tiny and lost within the prompt text.

Here is how it looks on my mac:
