Pane Resizer

A Neovim plugin to dynamically resize panes, focusing on the active window and excluding NvimTree and floating windows.

---

Pane Resizer is a Neovim plugin that automates pane resizing to optimize workspace layouts. With Pane Resizer, you can keep specific windows like NvimTree at a fixed width, distribute space evenly among inactive panes, and configure custom resizing for the focused pane.

Features

• Automatic Pane Resizing: Automatically resizes the focused pane to a user-defined percentage.
• NvimTree Handling: Keeps NvimTree at a fixed width, even when switching focus.
• Floating Windows Exclusion: Ignores floating windows during pane resizing.

Why use this?

• Efficiency: Dynamically resize panes to enhance workflow by focusing on essential windows.
• Customization: Offers flexible settings for the size of focused windows, NvimTree, and other panes.
• Compatibility: Designed to work seamlessly with floating windows.

Installation & Configuration

1. Installation

Using your preferred plugin manager:

-- Using LazyVim
return {
  {
    "mboyov/pane-resizer.nvim",
    config = function()
      require('pane_resizer').setup({
        NVIMTREE_WIDTH = 40,              -- Set NvimTree width (default is 30)
        FOCUSED_WIDTH_PERCENTAGE = 0.5,   -- Resize focused window to 50% (default is 60%)
      })
    end,
  },
}

2. Use Cases:

• Users who work with multiple splits and need a focused window to occupy a larger portion of the screen.
• Users who want to keep NvimTree at a fixed width.
• Users who use floating windows and want them excluded from the resizing logic.
