If for some reason you don't have Super Boomerang, you can get the
narrower view functionality from a cdev called NameViewer 2.0.  It
does this and also will let you see info about the selected file such
as file size, creator, etc.  This can done always or configured to
work on option or command key press.

It's shareware from AaStar Technologies and should be found most places.

P.S. Some friends of mine run AsStar, but I'm not connected to the
company in any way except friendship.
