Describe the bug / provide steps to reproduce it

In my project, I have a file structure likes this:

Now, if I search for a file impl, the file picker is not wide enough to disambiguate my search:

I guess my file tree is a bit weird, so I would be happy to just give a fixed percentage width for the file picker in my zed config :sweat_smile:

Environment

Linux.

Wider doesn't solve the problem, next time it may need to be wider, ad infinitum The real solution to the problem is the need for intelligent path display, where the same prefixes can be omitted from the indentation. There are settings in the telescope for this.
