> Widens the text input fields on the ChatGPT Web UI. They are more usable this way for wide technical content, like coding. Please, forget the "mobile only" Web design, it hurts on the desktop!

## Description

This plugin was developed using ChatGPT (GPT-4).

You can see the whole chain of prompts here:
<a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/4e7075fbbb2bda857b8f53b8c7e602b5a5847dec8687b0d1e43411b185fed53b/https%3A//chat.openai.com/share/c98b32d4-db9e-45b7-b782-22253f5c5047" rel="nofollow">https://chat.openai.com/share/c98b32d4-db9e-45b7-b782-22253f5c5047</a>

It was a 10 minutes hack. The solution is not optimal, but works okay without any observable IDLE CPU load, so it is good enough for now. The text size is a bit jumpy as new boxes are added as the chat is going, but it is still better than not being able to use the full width of the screen.
