Show and hide columns
Hide the Size and Modified columns when you only care about file names.
If you mostly care about file names, you can hide the Size and Modified columns in the file panes.
Usage
- Open the command palette and search "column".
- Run Toggle size column to hide the Size column; run it again to bring it back. Same for Toggle modified column.
- Both panes always change together, and the choice survives restarting fman.
Commands
| Command name | Palette label | Also found by | Default key |
|---|---|---|---|
toggle_size_column |
Toggle size column | show / hide size column | none (palette only) |
toggle_modified_column |
Toggle modified column | show / hide modified column, date | none (palette only) |
Bind them like any other command:
{ "keys": ["Ctrl+Alt+S"], "command": "toggle_size_column" }
Notes
- Only Size and Modified can be toggled — the Name column is always shown.
- The change takes effect in both panes immediately, without navigating or resizing the window, and the remaining columns widen to fill the pane right away.
- On locations that have no Size or Modified column at all — the Windows drives
list,
This PC— there is nothing to hide, so the setting has no visible effect there. - The state lives in
Core Settings.jsonunderhide_size_columnandhide_modified_column.
