tsize

tmux-like resize for vim

install

any package manager should do. i use vim-plug.

call plug#begin()
Plug 'thekelvinliu/tsize'
call plug#end()

usage info

this plugin uses g:tsize_amount as the resize increment. it defaults to 3. the plugin can be invoked either via ex command or plug mapping. the standard vim directions -- h, j, k, l -- correspond to direction of resize.

" ex commands
:TSIZEH
:TSIZEJ
:TSIZEK
:TSIZEL

" plug mappings
nmap <silent> <left> <plug>(tsize_h)
nmap <silent> <down> <plug>(tsize_j)
nmap <silent> <up> <plug>(tsize_k)
nmap <silent> <right> <plug>(tsize_l)

repeat

key bindings in tmux can be repeatedly invoked without having to re-press the prefix key. it's possible to get a similar behavior in vim without plugins too:

" recursively invoke <c-space> after resize to allow repeat
nmap <silent> <c-space>h <plug>(tsize_h)<c-space>
nmap <silent> <c-space>j <plug>(tsize_j)<c-space>
nmap <silent> <c-space>k <plug>(tsize_k)<c-space>
nmap <silent> <c-space>l <plug>(tsize_l)<c-space>

about

use this if you want to resize vim windows like you do tmux panes. inspired by vim-arrows, which is based on this stack overflow answer.
