Many users face the same issue as there is no Auto-adjust Column Widths feature in dataWrangler

Current Issue

Users spend excessive time manually adjusting column widths in the VS Code data viewer, reducing productivity.

Proposed Solution

Add settings options to:

  1. Hide the data insight panel

  2. Automatically adjust column widths to the minimum required size

Column width should be set to the greater of:

  • Minimum width for column header

  • Minimum width for longest data entry

Benefits

  • Save time on manual column adjustments

  • Improve initial data view and scanning

  • Provide customizable user experience

Implementation Suggestion

Add new VS Code settings:

"dataWrangler.autoAdjustColumns": true,

"dataWrangler.hideDataInsights": true

It would be usefull adding a keyboard shortcut or context menu for quick toggling.

This feature would significantly enhance data viewer usability and efficiency for VS Code users working with data.
