Description
Currently, PaperDebugger offers three layout options: Fixed Right, Fixed Bottom, and Floating Window. While these are useful, they often overlay or obscure parts of the Overleaf interface.
For users with wide-screen monitors, it would be highly beneficial to have an "Embed" option. This mode would inject the PaperDebugger panel directly into the Overleaf DOM as a sidebar (similar to how the file tree or the PDF viewer works), rather than hovering over it.
Proposed Solution
Add a fourth layout option: Embed.
• When selected, the PaperDebugger interface should be inserted into the Overleaf workspace.
• Ideally, it should be resizable and shift the existing Overleaf panes (Editor/PDF) to make room, ensuring no text is covered.
• This would provide a more "native" integrated development environment (IDE) feel.
Use Case
• Ultrawide/Large Monitor Users: Users with enough horizontal screen real estate can view their code, the compiled PDF, and PaperDebugger insights all at once without any overlapping elements.
• Workflow Continuity: Reduces the need to constantly toggle or move the floating window when it blocks specific buttons or lines of code in Overleaf.
Additional Context
• This would likely require more complex DOM manipulation/injection than the current fixed/floating CSS positioning.
