Floating Chat
A persistent, draggable chat window that floats over your workspace. Perfect for quick conversations without leaving your current view.
Overview
The Floating Chat provides a lightweight alternative to the sidebar chat view:
- Draggable window — move it anywhere on screen
- Resizable — drag the edges to adjust size
- Collapsible — hide the window without losing your session
- Multi-window — open multiple floating windows simultaneously
- Independent sessions — each window runs its own agent session
TIP
Enable the floating chat in Settings → Agent Client → Floating chat → Enable floating chat.
Getting Started
- Enable Enable floating chat in settings
- A floating button appears in the bottom-right corner
- Click the button to open a chat window
- Start chatting — the window works just like the sidebar chat
Moving and Resizing
- Drag the header bar to move the window
- Resize by dragging the bottom-right corner of the window
- Position and size are saved automatically
Multiple Windows
Open more than one floating chat window to run parallel conversations.
Opening Additional Windows
- Click "Open new view" from the ⋮ (More) menu in the floating window header
- Or use the command "Open new floating chat view" from the command palette
Switching Between Windows
When multiple windows exist, clicking the floating button shows an instance menu:
- Click a session name to expand that window
- Click × to close a session
TIP
The focused floating window is always displayed in front of other floating windows.
