What feature would you like to see?
I want to have an option to move Codex panel in VScode to the right.
Reasons:
- It overlaps other default panels (eg. file tree)
- That's most common in other agents IDE (eg. Cursor)
Are you interested in implementing this feature?
No

Just right click on the icon and move it to the right.
VS Code has a secondary panel. You can simply drag the window to the other side and it will work.
@IvoDimitrovPro On the right click - there is an option to only move primary sidebar to the right (which moves everything including file tree to the right)

@enriquemorenotent Oh, that works. Did not not expected that to work.
There are maybe two reasons why is that in your VS Code:

Thanks @IvoDimitrovPro,
It was clearly some issue on my end (I do not use VSCode that often now).
I do see that option to move to Secondary Side Bar now. 👍
You can just grab the Codex icon and drag it above Chat on the right sidebar
