Display full file name in vifm

Question

I have two almost identical file names in vifm panel like:

LongFileNameIn|Panel
LongFileNameIn|ThisPanel

where | is a border of a panel. I wonder if there is a way to display file full name in some status line or other view.

Answer 1

If terminal width is enough, you can sacrifice other information in status line and display only file name there by changing 'statusline' option:

set statusline=%t

You could also switch to single pane mode when working with such files using :only command.

If whole width isn't enough and this is rare case, name could be echoed on the status bar at request (easy to map to some shortcut):

:echo expand('%"c')

As many elements are displayed one per line, there is actually no universal way of displaying very long file names that do not fit into screen.

Answer 2

Another solution, similar to :only, is :split or key map c-w/s. It will display your panels split horizontally.
