Cell output location to the side

[maurosilber]

Description

In contrast to Jupyter notebooks, Marimo allows to put the output area either above and below. I still find above confusing after years of using Jupyter(-like) notebooks, but it is nice to have more options. I was wondering if you considered moving the output area to the side (right or left). Given that code tends to be 80-100 characters wide, it might make good use of the screen:

Here I set the width of the cell to 50% and it fits just ~60 characters.

When I'm exploring datasets, I sometimes make subplots with 2 or 3 columns (increasing the complexity of the code) just to make use of the available screen. I have the feeling that moving the output to the side could help with this use case.

Thanks!

Suggested solution

Add options to move the output to the right (and left).

We have an experimental multi-column view. While not the same as what you've suggested, perhaps it could help?

I just installed marimo for the first time about 10 minutes ago and this is one of the first things I tried to figure out how to do.
