Fields 1+2 and 4+5 would be all I really want of those 12 fields, the
final 3 I never use. I don't need actual percentages, I can get a close
enough impression when I have current+total column & line.

I don't want to use the scroll bar because compact-interface.

This would be an asset to me, even if only using ASCII, but certainly
with UTF-8.

This would be a great improvement to me!

I do use multibuffer, and the top line could display more than 1
filename, and for that reason I would (also?) like a toggleable top bar
with the filenames in the tabs, but just having the bottom line with all
the salient information, including the filename would be wonderful.
