Diffs from ChatResponseTextEditParts should be inline when narrow

[connor4312]

Adopting the ChatResponseTextEditPart, it's very nice that it's shown in the diff editor, but it's a bit hard to read due to is narrowness

Seems to be intentially disabled:

Line 608 in a49c81e

useInlineViewWhenSpaceIsLimited: false,

It will almost always be narrow because chat is in the sidebar or inside an editor. We have discussed

• an explicit toggle
• some smarts that automatically uses inline when diffs are dominated by insertions and/or removals

@hediet Is the latter something the diff editor could support?

Yes, the diff editor could support this! I don't think this feature would work very well for changing/writable files, as it might jump.

You could do this only on first open/load of a model but not on subsequent changes to the models.
