Nonsensical keyboard shortcuts #102

Hi,

I just started using this script and I see a lot of potential in it. Thanks for developing it!

I just can't seem to wrap my head around some keyboard shortcut options.

Why are there four separate options to horizontally resizing windows?

Since resizing the window causes the adjacent window to resize as well in order to fit, wouldn't it make more sense to have just two options, either

My issue stems from the fact that, when trying to resize the left window while focus is on the right window, nothing happens (and vice versa). And since you can't bind resizing left and right to the same short cuts, it means you'd have to assign 4 shortcuts and think about which ones to use while 2 of them seem to have the same outcome anyway (granted they'd work independent of focus).

Of course all of the above applies to vertical resizing as well.

Thanks for considering.

I vaguely remember struggling with resize shortcuts, but I can't remember the exact reason for the current solution. Quickly skimming through the code would suggest that simplifying them is possible, but I'll have to do some actual testing first.
