The username column in the output of top
command shows a +
for the names that are longer than the column width. How can I increase that?
I don't see any option for that.

Interesting; there is a way to do it. While running top, use the Shift+X interactive command to widen various fixed-width columns. Giving a parameter of 5 will, for instance, add 5 characters to the USER field, for a total of 13 characters. This ought to display the entire username for most users.
For example:
Before:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
8736 nm-open+ 20 0 74744 7872 6868 S 0.3 0.0 1:28.93 openvpn
Press Shift+X and enter 5
:
width incr is 0, change to (0 default, -1 auto) 5
After:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+
8736 nm-openvpn 20 0 74744 7872 6868 S 0.4 0.0 1:29.04
You should resize your terminal to be wider than 80 characters before doing this, or you'll lose information.
