Re: Tmux-style window resizing in vim?

Yes, I find that confusing, too. There is probably a solution, but
since it's a minor issue I never bothered to fix it.

I have set the following in my .vimrc

map <silent> <A-h> <C-w><
map <silent> <A-j> <C-W>-
map <silent> <A-k> <C-W>+
map <silent> <A-l> <C-w>>

With these mappings you can press Alt+ movement key to easily
resize. You can also say, e.g. 30<A-h> which increases by a larger
amount or simply keep <A-h> pressed for a few seconds.
