Feature Request: Customizable AI Panel Layout

Current Behavior:

  • The AI panel is fixed on the right side of the editor
  • Users cannot customize its position or layout
  • This may not be optimal for all users’ workflows and screen setups

Proposed Solution:
Add a customizable layout feature that allows users to:

  1. Drag and drop the AI panel to different positions (left, right, bottom, or floating)
  2. Save preferred layout positions as user preferences
  3. Optionally allow resizing the panel
  4. Add a quick toggle button to show/hide the panel

Benefits:

  • Improved user experience by allowing personalized workspace layouts
  • Better screen space utilization for different monitor sizes and setups
  • More flexibility for different coding workflows
  • Enhanced accessibility for users who prefer different panel positions

Technical Considerations:

  • Implement using a draggable panel component
  • Store layout preferences in user settings
  • Ensure smooth transitions when repositioning
  • Maintain panel state persistence between sessions

This feature would make Cursor more adaptable to individual user preferences while maintaining its powerful AI capabilities.
