No need to do that. I already implemented both of those things in 1.23 though the slider is on the Camera & Input tab. I find it funny that you want a narrower FOV because I was always wanting a wider one, also for reasons of immersivity. Using a 32° angle would look like you're wearing binoculars! Here's a great trick that took me ages to figure out: Make your main window use the full width of your screen. Then set the height to be roughly 1/2 of the width. Then set the FOV to be nearly 180°. Note that I also fixed the bugs where you could accidentally set view angles greater than 180° which would make a mess of your view. In 1.23 you can just set the slider all the way to the max or just hit ctrl-8 until it's maxed.
