Not sure that adding this to the Readme should be necessary. If users can't discover the resize feature, that suggests we might need a better cue in the UI like a more obvious drag handle. So lets just leave this out of the doc for now?

Looks good to me and thanks a lot for adding this! Just had one comment on the doc addition.

Hi @msabramo! Making the entire sidebar resizable just to show the URL seems... weird. Why not just do a tooltip when hovering that field?

Personally I have gotten annoyed with editing hidden arguments as once there are more than a few listed, when using stdio. Seems like this would also help that case.
