Feature hasn't been suggested before.

  • I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.

Describe the enhancement you want to request

I watched this video a couple of days ago where Scott Jenson talks about early on macOS where they moved the ellipsis in the middle of the file instead of the end to not trim critical information.

I found myself needing this in opencode, because when paths get long, the actual filename get truncated so the modified files list is less useful.
