Neovide Lags. Should I do something in order to prevent it . Or it's just how it is....
For automatic and probably instant split resizing, you could use focus.nvim or something similar. Or just resize using Neovim (keyboard) commands, which probably would also not lag.

Increase left padding when there is only one file opened?
Been searching around, and found zen-mode and focus.nvim but they don't really fix my specific use case. Some even suggested to have the file explorer opened to act as the left padding.

Focus.nvim has been recently updated to add even more awesome features that make vim splits an absolute joy to work with + heads up on breaking change
For those that haven't heard of focus, a quick TLDR.. if you love using vim splits, you will find focus.nvim makes your life with splits just that little bit better. The core feature of focus is auto-resizing splits, when moving between them the currently focused window will be resized to take up more of the screen. It's even more awesome now thanks to #1 below. Or maybe see some demo gifs here.

How to use fern open/split commands from drawer.
Basically I want to be able to open files from the Fern drawer browser into new splits. I can see that the commands I want exist here: https://github.com/lambdalisue/fern.vim/wiki/Mappings and look like "open:above" and similar. How do I enter these commands?
