it2 session resize
Resize a pane in a split layout
Synopsis
it2 session resize <session-id> [flags]
Description
Resize a pane's proportion in a split layout without changing the window size.
When resizing panes in a split layout:
- For horizontal splits (stacked vertically): Use --rows or --height to set pane height
- For vertical splits (side-by-side): Use --cols or --width to set pane width
The adjacent panes will be resized proportionally to maintain the total window size.
Examples:
Resize a pane to 5 lines tall (for horizontal splits)
$ it2 session resize abc123 --rows 5
Resize a pane to 40 columns wide (for vertical splits)
$ it2 session resize abc123 --cols 40
Using short flags
$ it2 session resize abc123 -r 10
Options
-
-c,--cols(default 0) - Width in columns (alias for --width)
-
--height(default 0) - Height in rows (lines)
-
-r,--rows(default 0) - Height in rows (alias for --height)
-
-w,--width(default 0) - Width in columns (characters)
