Summary
It would be very helpful to improve the usability of the text input area on high-resolution displays.
Two related improvements would help a lot:
- allow the text input area to be larger, or make its height configurable
- persist display/UI preferences between launches
Current behavior
On my side, the text input area feels too small, especially on higher-resolution screens.
I also manually increase the typography/font size almost every time I open CodeNomad again.
So I end up repeating the same visual adjustments over and over.
Problem details
- on 4K screens, the text area feels very small / cramped
- I also notice the same issue on 2.5K screens
- the default text size and overall UI scale are too small for comfortable long sessions
- after restarting CodeNomad, I have to adjust the typography again manually
Proposed improvements
1. Text input size
- allow the text input area height to be configurable
- or make the default input area larger
- ideally also allow drag-resizing or a size preference
2. Preference persistence
Persist the UI/display settings when closing the app (or before), for example:
- font size / typography scale
- possibly text input height if made configurable
- any related display comfort settings
Why this matters
CodeNomad is often used for long work sessions.
On higher-resolution monitors, a too-small text input area and non-persistent typography settings reduce comfort and slow down daily use.
Expected behavior
- the text input area should be easier to read and use on 4K / 2.5K displays
- UI scaling / typography choices should persist across restarts
- I should not have to resize or enlarge text every time I reopen the app
