Support full-width and slightly adjustable view in the Web Vault UI

[kalms (Mikael Kalms)]

The current Web Vault view is ~1000 pixels wide, regardless of the width of one’s web window.

When I use the Web Vault on my 2560x1440 monitor, it uses 1/3rd of my screen. Most collection labels are truncated. Most email addresses are truncated. To see a complete name, I need to inspect / open up the specific entry. This is frustrating to me.

I would like to see the following changes:

1. The web UI should expand to fill the available horizontal space.
2. The left-hand region (named “Filters”) should be possible to resize manually.
3. Each column in a list view should be possible to resize manually.

Hello @kalms and welcome to the community,

Regarding your first request, this should already be available.

@kalms

1. The web UI should expand to fill the available horizontal space.

You can see my reply in another community post here.

Within the Vault my password name field has reduced in width significantly

Can you see if this helps? Under Account Settings → Preferences → Display full width layout I know this was helpful for some people that had long collection names being truncated and cut off. Might be beneficial for your situation and for Item names as well.

I would also recommend splitting your other requests into separate feature request to allow for easier voting on only a single topic.
I was able to find a related request that should be close to your secondary request. Though the first option may take care of your issue, similar to the other community member here

Resizable sidebar - web vault

We use Bitwarden for projects but also for our internal administration. To discern between the credentials for projects and for internal things, we prefix the collection name with “Project”. Furthermore, we prefix it with the name of the client. If a client has two projects Intranet and API, the total name is Projects\Clientname\Intranet and Projects\Clientname\API. It looks like this: [image] The issue is that the names are getting cut off in the list of filters. The sidebar is too narrow …

Here is yet another similar request for resizable columns.

Allow adjusting column width to avoid wrapping text

Feature name Allow adjusting column width Feature function Allow user to change the width of the left column so that long Folder names don’t have to be wrapped. If I have a wrapped, long folder name, I’d like to drag that column border to the right so that the text fits without wrapping, and that width should be saved for future visits. Or, since there is plenty of empty horizontal space in the window, you might even want the column’s width to automatically expand for everyone up to some reas…

Thanks for looking into this!

Enabling “Display full width layout” solved the problem for me, mostly. I think I did not find that setting, because I did not expect settings that control how the web vault is presented to exist under an “Account Settings” UI screen.

If “Preferences” had existed directly on the web vault’s own screen - as a cogwheel or some other “preferences”/“settings”-related shape, next to these two buttons, I would probably have found it:

Alternatively, if “Preferences” had existed as a separate menu item in the drop-down that shows when clicking the “MK” symbol, I would probably also have found it.

Those other two posts match very well with my requests 2 & 3. I have voted on them now.
