You can use <code>Ctrl-W +</code> and <code>Ctrl-W -</code> to resize a split window. For changing the width of a window, use <code>Ctrl-W ></code> to increase the window size by one, while <code>Ctrl-W <</code> decreases the window width by one. Those keys also accept a count, so that you can change the window size in larger steps, e.g. <code>10 Ctrl-W+</code> increases the window size by 10 lines. |
+ |
You can use the <code>:resize</code> command or its shortcut <code>:res</code> to change the height of the window. To change the height to 60 rows, use: |
| − |
To resize all Windows to the same size, you can use <code>CTRL-W =</code> and to increase a window to its maximum size, use <code>Ctrl-W _</code>. |
|
| − |
|
|
| − |
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: |
|
| |
<pre> |
|
<pre> |
| − |
nnoremap <silent> <Leader>+ :exe "resize " . (winheight(0) * 3/2)<CR> |
+ |
:resize 60 |
| − |
nnoremap <silent> <Leader>- :exe "resize " . (winheight(0) * 2/3)<CR> |
+ |
</pre> |
| |
+ |
You can also change the height in increments. To change the height by increments of 5, use: |
| |
+ |
<pre> |
| |
+ |
:res +5 |
| |
+ |
:res -5 |
| |
</pre> |
|
</pre> |

Alternatively you can use the <code>:resize</code> command to change the height of the window, to change the window width, use the <code>:vertical </code> modifier. So to resize by 10 lines, use: |
+ |
|
| |
+ |
You can use <code>:vertical resize</code> to change the width of the current window. To change the width to 80 columns, use: |
| |
<pre> |
|
<pre> |
| − |
:res +10 |
+ |
:vertical resize 80 |
| − |
:res -10 |
|
| |
</pre> |
|
</pre> |
| − |
And to resize to a size of 20 use this: |
+ |
You can also change the width in increments. To change the width by increments of 5, use: |
| |
<pre> |
|
<pre> |
| − |
:res 20 |
+ |
:vertical resize +5 |
| − |
:vertical resize 20 |
+ |
:vertical resize -5 |
| |
</pre> |

For a '''split''' window: You can use <code>Ctrl-w +</code> and <code>Ctrl-w -</code> to resize the height of the current window by a single row. For a '''vsplit''' window: You can use <code>Ctrl-w ></code> and <code>Ctrl-w <</code> 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. <code>10 Ctrl-w +</code> increases the window size by 10 lines] |
| |
+ |
|
| |
+ |
To resize all windows to equal dimensions based on their splits, you can use <code>Ctrl-w =</code>. |
| |
+ |
|
| |
+ |
To increase a window to its maximum size, use <code>Ctrl-w _</code>. |
