Resizing panes

OK, now things are a bit silly here with all these panes. Let's try to resize them a little so things are a bit more manageable. First though, let's type some random text in each pane so we can tell them apart.

Have a look at the following screenshot where we have written Apple, Banana, Cherry, and Date. You can do so by typing in one window, then using the <Prefix> key followed by the arrow keys to move on to the next one until all panes have some unique text, as shown in the following screenshot:

Let's try resizing the panes by some decent increments. Get the cursor over to the Date window, either using <Prefix>, arrow keys or <Prefix>, o.

Now to resize it, let's try <Prefix>, Meta and the right arrow key. You should see the rightmost pane get a bit smaller. Try it again and it gets even smaller. Try <Prefix>, Meta and the left arrow key, and you should see the rightmost pane get a bit larger.

Note

If you look at your keyboard and see no Meta key...
