  Look into featurescript. It's easier than trying to use 1 liners.

  Still would be useful to be able to pop out the expression field though...
  Even a simple expression with a couple of variable requires scrolling back and forth!  Even just allowing us to temporarily resize the whole input dialogue (so we could make it the width of our screen) would go a long way!
  
  There's an improvement request for it: https://forum.onshape.com/discussion/comment/48300#Comment_48300

  I ran into the same problem, then I noticed that if I created a variable in a Variable Studio, I could expand the width of the "Value" column to a comfortable size..  You're forced to use the separate tab instead of entering your expression in a sketch, but it gets the job done.  Looks like the improvement request hasn't attracted a lot of attention.

  Right click page or hit F12 to inspect. Paste the following in the console and hit enter.

  let width = 30; // % browser width
let style = document.createElement('style');
document.head.appendChild(style);
style.innerHTML = `.dimension-edit-container .ns-feature-parameter .bti-numeric-text, .dimension-edit-container os-quantity-parameter input {width: ${width}vw!important;} .dimension-edit {max-width: ${width}vw!important;}`;

  Change '30' above to desired width as a percent of the browser's. This will stay active until you refresh the page.

  Also, the UI windows can be dragged to widen now, which wasn't the case in 2023.
