dsh-flyout-sidebar

Switching between DSH conversations and an external editor or terminal every time you need to check a file tree, review Git changes, or read a diff breaks your flow. dsh-flyout-sidebar embeds a file panel directly into the conversation interface so you can do all of that without leaving the session.

The sidebar offers a lazy-loading file tree (with repo-wide filename search via git ls-files) and a Git uncommitted-changes list with M/A/D badges, staged/unstaged indicators, and +n/−n line stats. Clicking a file opens a multi-tab preview that covers the entire session area—enough width for long files, syntax-highlighted code, rendered Markdown, scroll-to-zoom images, embedded PDF (offline-capable), and sandboxed HTML. The ↗ button in the top-left corner pops the panel out as an independent browser tab you can drag to a second monitor, keeping the main screen completely unobstructed; the pop-out page and main panel stay in real-time sync on session and theme via localStorage. The Git changes list auto-refreshes after each agent tool call (700 ms debounce + 2 s polling + 15 s fallback) and even picks up out-of-band edits made in an IDE.

Built for developers who frequently inspect code, track Git state, and read diffs inside DSH—especially dual- or multi-monitor users who want a persistent file panel on one screen and the conversation on the other. Bilingual UI, live light/dark theme sync, automatic yielding to other sidebar plugins, and per-session preview-tab restoration after a browser refresh are small touches that make daily use comfortable.
