You can show/hide a border by pressing b.

To aim seeking a specific aspect ratio, a number of keys are set up for common ones. When pressed the border will be shown, the width set to the width of your terminal at that moment, and then height to the corresponding target height for that ratio.

The keys are:

1	16 x 9
