Hi David,

I've tested your patch with the feature I've longed for, and I loved
it! Thanks for your efforts! Wide screen monitors are very common
nowadays, and vertically split windows make very efficient use of
screen spaces.

A small bug I've found: when in vertical split mode, '_'/'+'
decreases/increaes the width of the window by 25% of the height rather
than 25% of the width.

As a related note, I think that 25% of the width might be too large a
decrement/increment when one has a very wide terminal window. For
example, the size of my full-screen terminal window is 76 lines by 237
columns, so 1/4 of the width is almost 60 columns -- too large when it
comes to adjusting the width of the window using '_'/'+'. I suppose
this problem might be solved by setting the interval to a small value
(e.g. 1/6 or 1/8 of the width/height) when the width/height exceeds a
certain value (e.g. 120).

Best regards,
