Summary
The widget sidebar (custom widgets from widgets.json) is hardcoded to the right edge of the workspace. There's no setting to move it to the left, even for users who already use app:tabbar: "left" and would prefer chrome consolidated on one side.
Current behavior
In frontend/app/workspace/workspace.tsx:160-164, the layout is fixed by source order:
<div className="flex flex-row h-full">
<TabContent key={tabId} tabId={tabId} noTopPadding={showLeftTabBar && isMacOS()} />
{widgetsSidebarVisible && <Widgets />}
</div>There's no equivalent of app:tabbar (which already supports "top" / "left") for the widget sidebar.
Related: tooltip popovers inside frontend/app/workspace/widgets.tsx hardcode placement: "left-start" / placement: "left" (e.g. lines 79, 141, 262, 480, 494, 519, 540) on the assumption that the bar lives at the right screen edge. Those would need to flip to right placement when the bar is on the left.
Request
Please add a setting — e.g. app:widgetbar: "right" | "left" (default "right") — that controls which side of the tab content the widget sidebar appears on, with tooltip placement adapting accordingly.
This pairs naturally with app:tabbar: "left": users who put the tab bar on the left often want the widget bar adjacent to it (or deliberately on the opposite side), not stranded across the screen.
