Good question :)
1. I started to suggest using C-x _ for `shrink-window'. We already
have these keys: C-x {, C-x }, C-x ^ but C-x - is *not* the fourth
logical element here; it's `shrink-window-if-larger-than-buffer'.
2. Lennart jumped in and pointed to bw-interactive.el, which does a
good job at resizing windows border-wise.
3. Richard added that C-x _ wasn't a good idea and that we could even
consider drop the C-x { and C-x } keys if we have a better scheme for
resizing windows.
4. Stefan suggested it might be a good idea to have something like a
`resize-window' command that would spare us the hassle of repeating
resizing commands too often.
5. Juanma sent a `resize-window' command he's been using "for years",
suggesting that this could be improved by making it interact with
windmove.el
6. I sent an updated (ugly) `resize-window' trying to use windmove.el to
resize the windows borderwise. This function does a similar job than
bw-interactive.el, although it's a bit shorter. It could be improved
by binding the arrow keys instead of [ldur].
7. You proposed to use doremi.el as an example of what doremi.el can do
when it comes to handling incremental actions.
7. The discussion sank into madness because of the confusion between
what I called bi-directional and four-directional resizing schemes
-- or size-wise and border-wise resizing schemes...
8. We still need to find an agreement on what resize-window should do
and I pronounced myself in favor of the four-directional approach,
provided we use arrow-keys for that.
Next action: comment, test, improve and clean the latest `resize-window'
and see if everyone is happy with it!
