Describe the solution you'd like?

When Warp is just a terminal (meaning, currently viewing ONLY the terminal and not the file tree to the left or any individual file's content to the right), I would set this as a "base size" for the window (a base narrow width since all I am looking at is the terminal). But when I click to add the file tree view pane on the left or viewing individual files on the right, the window expands outward to meet those extra space requirements - but I have to resize them every time. I would like to set pre-set sizes for when these panes are used so that everything expands and collapses back to the same set of sizes instead of having to manually click and drag to change the window width every time to accomodate the preferred size of each pane.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Yes it is very annoying to have to resize the window every time I expand or collapse the side panes for viewing the file tree on the left or an individual file's content on the right. I'd like to expand outward to a preset width that I prefer and then when I close the file view on the right or don't want to view the file tree on the left, the main terminal view resizes BACK to its preferred narrow size, instead of me having to resize it back down.
