Please close if this is a duplicate of [#3298](https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/issues/3298), I couldn't really understand the description.

It would be really nice to interactively change the height of the fzf window (e.g., via `--bind`), rather than hardcoding it via options. The specific use case in mind I have is with `--preview` using `tree`, where for deep trees it would be great to toggle how much you can see.

Research direction

Start by reading fzf's existing height options and --bind behavior, then compare the request with duplicate issue #3298. Reproduce the zsh case using --preview and tree, and consider the work complete when the fzf window height can be changed interactively without restarting it.
