Example filesearch krunner

SUMMARY
Currently if you search for a file the list comes up but the containg file paths are many times abbreviated to the point where it is hard to tell which is which. Would like to show the full path as I hover over list items so I would not have to click on containing folder to view. (or some other method. Maybe when hovering over Open Containing Folder Button if that is easier.)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. From Plasma Desktop press ALT-SPACE to open krunner search tool (or from command line type krunner)
2. Search for files. E.g. theme

OBSERVED RESULT
Notice how some of the paths are chopped way too small depending on the filename width. Also there is a lot of wasted space on the left. See attached screen example

EXPECTED RESULT
Allow either via configuration to make dropdown search list wider or when hovering over a file to display the full path or some other method that makes it obvious which is the correct file to use.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Kubuntu 20.04
KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.5

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Also there is so much empty space to the left of the list. Not sure why but that could also be adjusted. Maybe provide a setting to allow adjustments to the list UI.

See example attachment. Thanks!
