dsh-plugin-rightbar-divider

中文 | English

DSH's right sidebar already has a drag handle. This plugin fixes the case where it stops working after whole-interface zoom: the handle is still rendered, but it is positioned with the visual viewport width instead of layout pixels, so at zoom: 1.2 it sits ~320px inside the panel instead of on the divider.

The plugin:

• measures the panel's real left edge with offsetLeft (layout pixels, unaffected by zoom and slide transforms) and moves the host handle back onto it through a CSS variable;
• widens the hit area from 8px to 12px and draws a 2px hover/drag line;
• leaves width limits, persistence, and drag behavior to the host's setRightbar.

At 100% zoom it is effectively a wider hit area with a hover affordance.

Install

From the DSH plugin market or npm:

dsh plugin --profile desktop add dsh-plugin-rightbar-divider

Then open Plugins → Add plugin and install dsh-plugin-rightbar-divider, or use the in-app plugin page. Open the right sidebar and hover the divider between chat and the sidebar: the cursor becomes col-resize and a thin line appears.

Why it happens

AppFrame positions the two handles like this:

{ side: 'sidebar',  left: cols.sidebar }
{ side: 'rightbar', left: viewport - normal.rightbar }

viewport is frame.getBoundingClientRect().width (visual pixels) while left is layout pixels. With html { zoom } the two diverge; the left handle uses layout pixels on both sides and stays aligned, the right one drifts by viewport × (zoom − 1).

Known limits

• Depends on private host attributes ([data-side="rightbar"], [data-rightbar-col], [data-sidebar-right-open]). If a future DSH renames them, the plugin quietly deactivates instead of breaking the layout.
• Under zoom, the host still changes width from visual pointer deltas, so dragging is slightly faster than the cursor (120% → 120px per 100px). The plugin does not take over pointer events.
• Fullscreen panels have no outer width handle by design; nothing is invented.

Verify

node test.mjs

Covers layout-pixel math, re-measure on width change, deactivation when the handle disappears, the rect/zoom fallback, and cleanup on dispose.

A proper upstream fix

In AppFrame, use frame.offsetWidth / clientWidth for viewportWidth, or derive the right handle's left from the panel's offsetLeft. That fixes every geometry that depends on viewportWidth, not just the handle.
