I have the following bindings:
# these resize the window by moving the SW corner by 5 "units" at a time
Mouse 4 T N Resize br w+5c w+5c
Mouse 5 T N Resize br w-5c w-5c
They let me resize by rolling the mouse wheel on the titlebar. My
intention is that they are inverses of each other. I have two
problems with them.
First, it seems like the "units" are not always consistent for a given
window. For pixel-based windows, it seems to work OK, in the sense I
can apply the binds an equal number of times, and I don't make the
window too small, I get back to exactly the same size. For
character-based windows (terminals), they usually get smaller, more so
in the y direction. Example: an xterm starts at 211x76, after -5c,-5c
it's 189x72, and after +5c,+5c it's 210x75.
The second problem is when resizing an OpenOffice window, it moves
*both* the top left and bottom right corners.
