Zoom preview window

There are situations when preview does not fit on screen (say a markdown with long lines, etc).

It is indeed possible to make vifm show a single pane/side (<C-w>o), however doing the same in preview raises "Can't leave preview window alone on the screen". Is there a strong reason for it?

The reason is that quickview is tied to the other pane, so that pane is kept visible. This behaviour dates back when one couldn't focus a quickview and enter view mode, so maybe Ctrl+W o could be permitted in this case with the other pane being shown automatically on exiting view mode.

By the way, there is also Ctrl+W | to maximize a window. "explore" view (after e) can also be used in the only mode.

If you would like to make a bug report or feature request consider using GitHub, SourceForge or e-mail. Posting such things here is acceptable, but this is not a perfect place for them.
