# Description: Adds preview pipe to enable closing and re-opening the preview
#              pane when running an undetached editor. If you are using vim 
#              you might experience incorrectly resized window. Consider adding
#              the following to your vimrc:
#              autocmd VimEnter * :silent exec "!kill -s WINCH $PPID"
