Resize is fine, but please continue to support 80x25 long term. I don't see classic TUI losing value anytime soon.
What about a 2nd application, tlf-config or easy-tlf-config, which would have the pulldown menus etc for setting up config files. Keep the pulldown menus out of tlf. Once you add menus, you'll add a bunch of hotkeys. One of the nice things about TLF is that there aren't a bunch of live keys, especially if run out of a console or terminal rather than a windows manager.
