I've now done this in Emacs 27 -- in all tabulated list modes, which may or may not be controversial. If people feel like this is a bad change, feel free to revert.

But perhaps there's a bad user interaction somewhere... > It would also be nice if there was some way to customize the column > widths. In Emacs 27, the '}' command can be used to widen column widths. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
