I don't have a mac but I think this is the type of action that
should be mapped either to f-key or alt- or ctrl- combo because
you will often want to change win size by 10 or more lines,
and it's far easier to do when you can hold a modifier key
and keep hitting the shortcut, or even holding it for large
resizes.
