Known issues

• fman raises ValueError on the first Toggle hidden files if a pane is launched with hidden files hidden (and status bar is not updated this one time) (tip: you might be able to conveniently close the error warning window with the same keybind you toggled hidden files with)
• Status bar is NOT updated when switching panes with a mouse since plugins can't notice a pane switch due to a lack of the necessary APIs
• Alignment of indicators only works for monospaced (fixed-width) fonts since it's currently implemented using regular spaces (tip: you can change this font in your Theme.css file .statusbar{font-family:"yourMonospacedFont"}). And even then fancy icons/emojis might slightly break it
• On launch the right pane is ignored in the status bar udpate to improve performance since fman always activates the left one (and doesn't have an API to let a plugin know which pane is the active one)
