I discovered the 'Size Column' options when using the mouse on the column headers.
I would like these options also available on the 'View' menu.
This allows me to remain in 'keyboard mode' and not have to reach for the mouse to access these functions.
Suggestion: Add 'Size Column' options to 'View' menu

Re: Suggestion: Add 'Size Column' options to 'View' menu
I will consider adding size column options to the View menu.
Thank you for the suggestion.
Pressing Ctrl + Num+ will auto size your columns.
Alt + 1, Alt + 2, Alt + 3 and Alt + 4 will resize your Window and columns to fit.
To bind a keyboard shortcut to auto size your columns:
Everything 1.5 will have an option to auto size columns to fit the window with Ctrl + Shift + Num+

Re: Suggestion: Add 'Size Column' options to 'View' menu
Thank you for the consideration.
The additional information especially (Ctrl + Num+) is exactly what I need to stay in 'keyboard mode'. Perfect!
Looking through the keyboard list I understand now that my area of interest lies in the 'Result List'.
If I could influence you, I envisage a menu item structure like 'View', 'Result List', then 'Size All Columns to Fit', etc.
Again, thank you for the heads-up!

Today I learned that Ctrl + Num+ is a common "Keyboard shortcut for resizing all columns in a listview control to fit".
