Focus mode

Get it for macOS

Read one conversation with the sidebar, other split panes, and composer out of sight. Open it from the thread header or command palette, and assign a shortcut in BB's Keyboard settings. Press Escape to return to your previous layout and draft. Uses BB's native transcript and active theme, with no additional account or external service.

Overview

What you get

Open a full-window reading view for one conversation. The sidebar, other split panes, and composer stay out of sight, with an Exit focus button available at the top. The transcript uses BB's own chat rendering and follows your active theme.

How to use it

Click Focus mode in a thread's header, or choose Focus mode: read current chat in the command palette. To add a keyboard shortcut, assign this command a binding in BB's Keyboard settings. No shortcut is bound by default, so the plugin does not compete with other plugins' default shortcuts.

Press Escape or click Exit focus to return. The plugin leaves the underlying layout and draft unchanged. It opens a separate transcript view, so its starting scroll position can differ from the original chat. Active agents continue running; exit to use the normal composer and execution controls.

Requirements

Requires BB 0.47.1 or later and Plugin SDK 0.6.79 or later in the 0.6 series. The overlay integration uses experimental SDK APIs and may need updates as BB changes. No additional account or external service is required.

Generative UITurns agent replies into charts, diagrams, maps, plans and forms you can use, right in the chat. Agents choose from 86 components on their own, with no setup: sliders and filters recompute in the page, and buttons, choices and forms put your answers in your message, which reaches the agent when you send it. Test reports, logs, lint errors and coverage files render as their own components instead of pasted text, and a thread's changes, commits, pull request and workers are read live from BB. Adds about 6,400 tokens of instructions to sessions whose replies you read, and looks up photos, places and map tiles on Wikimedia Commons, Wikipedia, Photon and OpenStreetMap unless you turn web lookups off. Relies on BB internals, so a BB update can show the blocks as code until the plugin catches up.ComicBit396
