The community member is looking for a way to "freeze" cells at the top of the Marimo UI to always have certain elements visible, such as buttons for recomputing or reloading. They tried using the new column layout feature, but found that the code column should be wider than the small reload buttons. The community members discuss that the multi-column widths are not currently customizable, but suggest an alternative solution of collapsing H1/H2 sections and putting the controls at the very top. The community members also note that these features are not on the roadmap, but encourage the original poster to open an issue to request them.
Hey everybody! Marimo is an absolute pleasure to use, great work!
Something I have repeatedly found myself wanting to do: I often have a couple of things I'd like to always have on the screen, e.g. a few buttons with to toggle different lines of recompute / reload or some visualizations. I haven't found any way to "Freeze" cells at the top of the UI (correct me if this does exist!) So I thought I may be able to approximate this with the new column layout feature However, the actual code column should be much wider than the small reload buttons. Is this customizable in any way?
the multi-column widths are not customizable at the moment.
however, taking a step back. there might be other solutions. we don't have cell pinning or freezing, but we you can collapse H1/H2. so you could put your controls at the very top and chunk your notebook in various H2 and only have one section open that you are wokring on
