This tip is about how to resize Windows efficiently.
You can use the :resize command or its shortcut :res to change the height of the window. To change the height to 60 rows, use:
:resize 60
You can also change the height in increments. To change the height by increments of 5, use:
:res +5 :res -5
You can use :vertical resize to change the width of the current window. To change the width to 80 columns, use:
:vertical resize 80
You can also change the width in increments. To change the width by increments of 5, use:
:vertical resize +5 :vertical resize -5
For a split window: You can use Ctrl-w + and Ctrl-w - to resize the height of the current window by a single row. For a vsplit window: You can use Ctrl-w > and Ctrl-w < to resize the width of the current window by a single column. Additionally, these key combinations accept a count prefix so that you can change the window size in larger steps. [e.g. 10 Ctrl-w + increases the window size by 10 lines]
To resize all windows to equal dimensions based on their splits, you can use Ctrl-w =.
To increase a window to its maximum size, use Ctrl-w _.
To resize in different steps, you can create maps that will adjust the window size differently. For example to increase the window size by a factor of 1.5 and decrease the window size by 0.67, you can map this:
nnoremap <silent> <Leader>+ :exe "resize " . (winheight(0) * 3/2)<CR> nnoremap <silent> <Leader>- :exe "resize " . (winheight(0) * 2/3)<CR>
In Gvim and vim in terminals with mouse support, it is also possible to use the mouse to resize a window. Simply grab the statusline at the window border and drag it into the desired direction.

Plugins
The following plugins allow to define submodes, that make it possible to use e.g. Ctrl-W + to increase the window size and keep on increasing as long as you keep '+' pressed:
- Andy Wokulas tinymode plugin
- Kana Natsunos submode plugin
- Tom Links tiny keymaps
