Fullscreen, frames, rename

Three quality-of-life pane actions. Fullscreen temporarily zooms the focused pane to fill the tab, so you can read a wall of logs, then toggles back. Frames are the borders around panes; you can hide them for a cleaner look. And you can rename a pane so its frame carries a label instead of the running command.

Pane mode: fullscreen, frames, rename
CtrlthenpEnter Pane mode
fToggle fullscreen on the focused pane
zToggle pane frames on/off
cRename the focused pane

Renaming (c) drops you into a tiny input mode where you type the name and press Enter. Esc cancels and restores the old name. It's the same rename pattern you'll see for tabs later, so it's worth getting the rhythm now.
