List View Enhancements

The ability to use a shorter name for the column name - I have @fields.SomeReallyLongFieldName and it's a binary 0/1 value. It'd be nice to be able to make a shorter view there so it doesn't take up so much space.

The ability to on mouseover overlay another field of data. As an example, I have an ip address in one field and the resolved hostname in another. I'd like to make it so if you mouse over the IP address, you can view the hostname or vice versa.

👍 Feature 1 is like a field alias, and feature 2 is like extra info for a field. Being able to have these would be quite nice!

I'm working on the ability to have an alias for a column name. This should help to shorten field names or better explain display field names.

They way I've done it so far is to have a popover show up when you click on the column name. You type the alias name in the popover and it's reflected in the table column header. Pretty much like how aliases work in the query panel

Edit: This is for the table panel only. It won't show the alias when you expand the table row however -- but that is an easy change

I've added a feature called "Short dots" to Kibana 4 that shortens fields like this. It is disabled by default but can be enabled under advanced settings.
