Currently the ellipsis character is ... (three characters, about 2 chr width), which takes up a lot of space where several columns are ellipsis'd, and as you decrease a column width when the ellipsis appears it suddenly bites off quite a lot from the end of the information you are looking at!
* Can I suggest that by default the ellipsis character … be used, but also to provide an option where a vertical ellipsis can be used ( ⋮ which is U+22EE) or an indicator that takes up no space, such as a border mark where the data hits the column end. Hopefully at least the alternative characters suggested would be trivial codewise. This would save a lot of real estate
Thanks - I noticed that boolean, maybe I should switch it on.
My feeling is that an ellipsis signifier is definitely still useful in some reduced form as explored in the post. I suppose to refine that further something like a grey or dimmed ellipsis character/signifier would work better than one of normal colour/brightness.
