What a useful tool this is.

Would you consider adding a way to easily copy the final command, for use elsewhere.

Solution Ideas:

• The pattern used by ijq is that it prints the final command to stdout when you're "done".
• A new panel that always shows the full command string so that a user can manually copy it.
• Other

The ijq pattern seems like it's simpler.

This is a really cool tool, but I found using it for more than a very simple command was frustrating because of the positional arguments field/input area being so narrow.

Here's an example -- Trying to get to this, which is relatively short for a jq/yq query:

yq e '[.images.gitSync.repository, .images.gitSync.tag] | join(":")'

after I've entered the query in positional arguments, this is what it looks like

yq eval              'Sync.tag] | join(":") ' -- values_11.8.yml 

I don't know the framework at all, and have little experience with terminal apps, but if it is possible to make the positional argument input grow to available size, it would be much easier to use.

As a secondary consideration if dynamic sizing of objects is complicated/tedious/not worth the time, maybe split the input area to 3 lines, eg something like

[command]  [command options (to terminal width)] 
 '<positional arguments> (to terminal width)'
 <input files> (to terminal width)

I did discover the wide editor and that works for sure, but it would be nice to be able to see more of the positional arguments in the default view.

This tool is cool, thanks for making it!
