Having the filter always showing is useful, but it is taking up the a lot of space, and it is leaving almost no room for the input field. This is especially important for small terminal width (using terminal splits, small terminal windows etc.)
It seems that the filter section grows together with the visible columns.
It would be really useful if you can add option similar to show_help, show_tabs and show_preview which controls if the filter section is visible or not and ideally if it is visible it should be minimal (not grow together with the visible columns) or move it to the bottom.
ps: I’m still not quite sure where is the best place for a feature requests, so I’ve also opened a GitHub issue as well.
