SublimeResizeGroupWithKeyboard

Sublime Text 2 and 3 Plugin to resize active group with keyboard

Using

OSX

• Press ⌘-⌥-right to expand active group horizontally.
• Press ⌘-⌥-left to shrink active group horizontally.
• Press ⌘-⌥-up to expand active group vertically.
• Press ⌘-⌥-down to shrink active group vertically.

Windows & Linux:

• Press ctrl-alt-right to expand active group horizontally.

Settings

The settings are stored under Preferences / Package Settings / Resize Group With Keyboard / Settings - Default. In order to change the default settings, copy the settings to Settings - Default found under the same menu, and edit their values.

Setting the resize delta

The resize delta is set to 0.01 by default, similar to 1 % of the entire application window. Change this to a greater or a smaller value in order to resize the groups accordingly.

{ "resize_delta_default": 0.01 }

Per-direction resizing

Optionally, the resize deltas can be set explicitly for each of the directions. This can be handy you want different resizing with e.g. Up/Down and Left/Right. For example:

{
  "resize_delta_up": 0.01,
  "resize_delta_down": 0.01,
  "resize_delta_left": 0.1,
  "resize_delta_right": 0.1
}
