How does Floating, Resizable Agent Input work in 1DevTool?

Step 1: Open Agent Input — Use the terminal composer to open Agent Input with the current terminal draft and any attachments. Step 2: Drag the header — Grab the Agent Input header and move the composer over any workspace panel; it detaches into a top-level floating layer. Step 3: Resize from any side — Drag an edge or corner to set the width and height. The box stays within the viewport and keeps a usable minimum editor size. Step 4: Reuse or dock the layout — The floating size is remembered globally. Click Dock back into the terminal pane when you want the anchored composer again.

Floating, Resizable Agent Input

Drag Agent Input out of its terminal pane, move it across the workspace, and resize it from any edge or corner. It automatically floats when a pane is too cramped and remembers the floating size you chose between sessions.

Why You Need This

How this feature boosts your daily productivity

Long prompts, attached files, and multi-agent handoffs quickly outgrow a narrow terminal pane. Floating Agent Input gives the composer its own movable canvas without forcing fullscreen, while automatic detachment keeps the drag handle and editor reachable when grid layouts become too small.

How It Works

Get started in 4 simple steps

Open Agent Input

Use the terminal composer to open Agent Input with the current terminal draft and any attachments.

Drag the header

Grab the Agent Input header and move the composer over any workspace panel; it detaches into a top-level floating layer.

Resize from any side

Drag an edge or corner to set the width and height. The box stays within the viewport and keeps a usable minimum editor size.

Reuse or dock the layout

The floating size is remembered globally. Click Dock back into the terminal pane when you want the anchored composer again.

Without 1DevTool

The manual way vs. the 1DevTool way

The Hard Way

# Long prompt to write

# Composer wedged in a narrow pane

# Three lines of room

# Go fullscreen just to see it

# Lose sight of the terminal output

# Fight the same cramped box next time

The 1DevTool Way

Drag Agent Input out by its header.

Resize it from any edge or corner.

The size you pick is remembered next time.

Why It Matters

The productivity impact of having ai productivity built into your workspace

Room to Write

Size the composer to the prompt instead of squeezing a long, structured instruction into a three-line pane.

Reachable in Tight Layouts

It detaches on its own when a pane gets too narrow, so the editor and its controls never get clipped out of reach.

Set It Once

Your floating size is remembered between sessions, so the composer opens the way you like it every time.

Dock When You Want

Snap the composer back into its terminal pane with one control whenever you want the anchored layout again.
