Description

Type: Feature Request

In R when we use View(df) some of the column on the far-right of the viewer are quite narrow. So I am requesting a setting to edite the autowidth feature.
OR a way to select all column and double click on border of one to expand the width as needed (similar to excel). right now you have to do that one by one for each column.

Thanks

Research direction

Start by locating the R View data viewer and its automatic column-width behavior in the vscode-R extension. Compare the requested configurable width with the alternative of selecting all columns and expanding them together; done means one clearly documented behavior is implemented and verified in the viewer.
