Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Vertical split at the "Status [1]" section is at 50% which is suboptimal in many cases. List of files is likely to take (much) less space compared to the diff.

Describe the solution you'd like Either resize it dynamically or make it user-configurable. Or, allow changing on the fly.

Describe alternatives you've considered Reposition screen from vertical to horizontal orientation or purchase a wider monitor.

I think there’s a couple of ways we can change how layout is done in this tab. I’m leaving this link for anyone who wants to pick this up: https://ratatui.rs/concepts/layout/. The actual change might even be rather straightforward. I think the bigger challenge is coming up with a good algorithm that works for all screen sizes.
