Hi and welcome,

There are several ways to change the column width. BTW, your screenshot shows the List in Details view, while it also has a List view.

To change the column width manually, hold the mouse over the divider between the columns in the header and either click-and-drag or double-click to set the column width to the widest item. Alternatively, there are several options in View > Tab > Columns.

The Shortcut is very very convenient.

Columns (Submenu)

Line Numbers: Show line numbers in the left-most column. Its width auto-adjusts to the number of items in the list, and it got its own fully configurable color in Configuration | Colors & Styles. The right border color of the line numbers area is derived from its backcolor by darkening.

[Column Name]: Show/hide this column in List.

Show All Columns: Show all columns.

Autosize Columns Now: This command allows you to adjust the width of all columns. Columns are auto-sized to a max width of 600 pixels.

Tips: You can adjust each file list column's width by dbl-clicking the little gap right of the column header. You can adjust the width of all columns by one dbl-click on the dead-zone right of all column headers, or by dbl-click on the Line Number column header. To automatically adjust the width of all columns when listing the contents of a new location, check Tools | Customize List | Autosize Columns.

Shortcut: Ctrl+Numpad Add

Grow Name Column: Grows the name column by 5 pixels (in all views).

Shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+Numpad Add

Shrink Name Column: Shrinks the name column by 5 pixels (in all views).

Shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+Numpad Subtract

How to change item width in view "list"?

View | Columns | Grow Name Column (Ctrl+Shift+Numpad Add)
View | Columns | Shrink Name Column (Ctrl+Shift+Numpad Subtract)

Or show the column headers and drag them wider:
Configuration | General | Sort and Rename | Sort | Show sort headers in all views
