Feature Request: Truncate Fields at Configurable Length #32

I have some fields there are very long and cause one 'event' to actually take up 2 or 3 rows on my screen. It would be great if Kibana could truncate fields over n length and display "..." at the end so I can 'expand' and see the entire field's contents if desired.

Example:

A good example is an 'username' field such as:
cn=Chris Decker, ou=blah, ou=blah2, ou=blah3, o=blah, c=blah, st=blah

Explanation:

When I'm skimming my logs I really only need to see the cn portion of the line, so I'd configure Kibana to show me the first 25 characters of this field.

The "Trim Factor" option in Kibana 3 gives me exactly what I was looking for when I wrote this feature request. Thanks!
