A utility to easily resize windows within Emacs.
You can use window-shaper to resize windows with a press of a single key.
Save the file window-shaper.el to disk and add the directory containing it to load-path using a command in your .emacs file like:
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/")
The above line assumes that you've placed the file into the Emacs directory '.emacs.d'.
Start the package with:
(require 'window-shaper)
If you have Marmalade added as a repository to your Emacs, you can just install window-shaper with
M-x package-install window-shaper RET
Enable window-shaper-mode in any buffer to be able to use single keystrokes to resize windows.
(window-shaper-mode)
You can also set a key-binding to enable window-shaper-mode from any buffer.
(global-set-key (kbd "C-x C-#") 'window-shaper-mode)
Once the window-shaper-mode is enabled you can use the following shortcuts:
- right: increase window width
- left: decrease window width
- up: increase window height
- down: decrease window height
- q: disable window-shaper-mode
