Feature Request
Problem
Currently, bash command outputs are collapsed after a certain number of lines (appears to be around 10-15 lines), requiring the user to press ctrl+o to expand and see the full output. For users who frequently run commands with moderate output (20-50 lines), this requires constant expansion interactions.
Requested Feature
Add a configurable setting to control the initial number of lines displayed for bash command outputs before requiring manual expansion.
Proposed Setting
{
"env": {
"BASH_INITIAL_DISPLAY_LINES": "40"
}
}Or as a top-level setting:
{
"bashOutputDisplayLines": 40
}Use Case
- Developers working with build outputs, test results, or file listings that regularly exceed the current default
- Reduces friction in interactive sessions where moderate-length outputs are common
- Allows users to balance between compact display and reduced expansion interactions
Current Workaround
None apparent - BASH_MAX_OUTPUT_LENGTH controls character-based truncation, not initial line display
Related
This is separate from BASH_MAX_OUTPUT_LENGTH, which controls character-based middle-truncation for very long outputs. This request is specifically about the UI pagination feature that initially collapses outputs.
