Golden-ratio sizing

Press Ctrl-f g to size the full-height left pane to roughly 38% of the available width. This is useful for a shell or file browser beside a larger editor area.

The ordinary shortcut leaves an already-wide left pane alone once it reaches 120 text columns. Ctrl-f G applies the sizing even when that width guard would skip it. Both shortcuts cap the intended left-pane width at 180 text columns.

Example

Arrange one full-height pane on the left and your other work on the right. Press Ctrl-f g. If the left pane was already wide and did not change, press Ctrl-f G to deliberately resize it.

This command adjusts the left pane, regardless of which pane is focused. It requires a full-height left pane and a supported tiled arrangement. Sizes are approximate; the result may stop short of the requested width.

These shortcuts need the modern configuration. Use equalize panes to balance an aligned row or column instead.
