ahhhh..! hmm, it's a very small nitpick, but maybe more useful for people with small terminal windows..?? i personally use a page-like size and don't even get to see the preview-side... i like the default centered design, but maybe there can be less padding? |

It's not a small nitpick for me because I have to use a large font size which makes my terminal width and height relatively small even when the terminal is full-screen. I think this is a better utilization of space in the landscape orientation (i.e. when width > height) nonetheless. For the people that do use the previews, this is a free upgrade in my opinion at no special cost I guess. The content behind the overlays isn't properly readable anyways so why not make use of that free real estate? :) I do understand this is a major component design change and it might need much more discussion to happen but my vote is for it to happen. If you don't use the previews, then I guess this will neither trouble you nor benefit you much. |

yeah... i think you're right: it doesn't hurt anyone to maximize it. it's only padded for aesthetics. who knows, maybe then i'll finally be able to see the preview! 😅 |

I have been using this on my own for a while and it has been great having maximum file preview area. In case anybody wants to try it:
