My suggestion would be to have both: C-x _ as a new keybinding for
`shrink-window' (since we already have a key for `enlarge-window')
*and* bw-interactive.el, which sounds nice.
IMHO it's better to stick to the possibility of balancing/resizing
windows (or shrinking/enlarging them) with just *one* keystroke.
A few comments on bw-interactive.el though. Assume I start with a full
window and have C-x + bound to `bw-start-resize-mode':
- It seems that the first arrow keystroke says: "Hello, please start
resizing with arrow keys!" but wait for another keystroke. I think
the user might expect that the first arrow keystroke has a visible
effect on window resizing already.
- C-x 2 C-x + <up> won't shrink the window if it's larger than the
buffer; but C-x 2 C-x + <down> <up> <up> will shrink the window
even if it's *initially* larger than buffer. I believe that the
first set of keystrokes should already shrink the window, or at
least send an error to the user.
Anyway, bw-interactive seems like it's already very useful to me,
thanks for that.
