DESCRIPTION When Vim itself is resized, the rightmost and bottom windows receive or lose the change in size; all other windows maintain their size as long as possible. What you usually want is that _all_ window heights and widths are adapted, so that the proportions of the windows remain constant. This plugin defines a :ProportionalResize command that wraps Ex commands like     :set lines=40 columns=80     :simalt ~m     :Fullscreen and scales the window sizes to the new dimensions. It also records the window layout during brief pauses and is then able to auto-adapt after spontaneous resizings through the mouse or window manager. SOURCE Inspired by the following Stack Overflow question:     http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14649698/how-to-resize-split-windows-in-vim-proportionally USAGE :ProportionalResize {resize-cmd}                         Execute {resize-cmd} (e.g. :setlocal lines=40) and                         adapt the proportions of the current window layout to                         the new size. So if for example you have 3 windows                         split vertically 1:1:2, and a horizontal split 4:1,                         the proportions will be kept instead of the rightmost                         and bottom windows getting all the space increases. :NoProportionalResize {resize-cmd}                         Execute {resize-cmd} (e.g. :setlocal lines=40) without                         adapting the proportions of the current window layout.                         You can wrap commands which would confuse the plugin's                         algorithm (e.g. a rotate function that switches                         vertical with horizontal windows), so that it won't                         automatically adapt the window layout.

install details

INSTALLATION This script is packaged as a vimball. If you have the "gunzip" decompressor in your PATH, simply edit the *.vmb.gz package in Vim; otherwise, decompress the archive first, e.g. using WinZip. Inside Vim, install by sourcing the vimball or via the :UseVimball command.     vim ProportionalResize*.vmb.gz     :so % To uninstall, use the :RmVimball command. DEPENDENCIES - Requires Vim 7.3 or higher and the +float feature. - Requires the ingo-library.vim plugin (vimscript #4433), version 1.000 or   higher. CONFIGURATION For a permanent configuration, put the following commands into your vimrc: The plugin can also handle spontaneous resizings (i.e. when you simply use the mouse or your window manager's controls to resize the GVIM application / Vim terminal window). For that, it needs to record the original window proportions. By default, that is done whenever you pause operation (CursorHold). If you're too impatient, you can add additional events (but balance that with the drag on performance), e.g. WinEnter:     let g:ProportionalResize_RecordEvents = 'CursorHold,CursorHoldI,WinEnter' If you don't want this auto-adaptation at all, and only use the :ProportionalResize wrapper:     let g:ProportionalResize_RecordEvents = '' To make the auto-adaptation react faster, the plugin decreases the 'updatetime' option temporarily while Vim is being resized. To influence the delay, modify:     let g:ProportionalResize_UpdateTime = 500 INTEGRATION If you have any plugins or mappings that alter the size of the Vim window (e.g. a :Fullscreen or :Maximize command) it's advisable to trigger it through the :ProportionalResize wrapper.
