I am having some trouble following (or getting the expected result)
following the documentation in resizing a window:

:res[ize] -N                    *:res* *:resize* *CTRL-W_-*
CTRL-W -    Decrease current window height by N (default 1).
        If used after |:vertical|: decrease width by N.

:res[ize] +N                    *CTRL-W_+*
CTRL-W +    Increase current window height by N (default 1).
        If used after |:vertical|: increase width by N.


I can use :res [+/-] N fine. But I cant get the ctrl w + and ctrl w - to
work. I am on a macbook and using the + and - keys to the left of the
delete key (so I have to press shift additionally to get the + key).
Does anyone use this successfully? I guess I could map :res +1 and :res
- 1 to a function key....

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.

Thanks to everyone... I ended up mapping :res +5 and :res -5 to function keys... on the mac the only thing was to turn off all those default uses of the function keys that I never really use but interfere with vim. One step closer to mouseless!
