 40  ## 🔍 Troubleshooting: I Don't See It!
 41  
 42  ### Step 1: Press Ctrl+S
 43  The sidebar might be toggled off. Press **Ctrl+S** to show it.
 44  
 45  ### Step 2: Check Terminal Width
 46  Run this to check your terminal width:
 47  ```bash
 48  echo "Terminal width: $COLUMNS characters"
 49  ```
 50  
 51  **Minimum requirements:**
 52  - 55+ characters: Narrow sidebar (20 chars)
 53  - 70+ characters: Medium sidebar (30 chars)
 54  - 90+ characters: Full sidebar (35 chars)
 55  
 56  If your terminal is too narrow, try resizing it wider.
 57  
 58  ### Step 3: Check Footer
 59  Look at the bottom of the screen. You should see:
 60  ```
 61  [^P] 🔥 commands  [^S] 📊 hide/show sidebar  [^T] 🔧 tools  [^A] 🤖 agents  [^C] 🚪 exit
 62  ```
 63  
 64  If it says **"show sidebar"** - press Ctrl+S to toggle it on.
 65  If it says **"hide sidebar"** - the sidebar should be visible.
 66  
 67  ### Step 4: Force Wide Terminal
 68  Try making your terminal at least 90 characters wide:
 69  - macOS Terminal: Cmd+, → Profiles → Window → Columns = 120
 70  - iTerm2: Preferences → Profiles → Window → Columns = 120
