=== Resizing containers/windows
If you want to resize containers/windows using your keyboard, you can use the
+resize+ command, I recommend using it inside a so called +mode+:
+resize+ command:
*Syntax*:
---------------------------------------------------------
resize <grow|shrink> <direction> [<px> px] [or <ppt> ppt]
---------------------------------------------------------
Direction can be one of +up+, +down+, +left+ or +right+. The optional pixel
argument specifies by how many pixels a *floating container* should be grown or
shrinked (the default is 10 pixels). The ppt argument means percentage points
and specifies by how many percentage points a *tiling container* should be
grown or shrinked (the default is 10 percentage points).
I recommend using the resize command inside a so called +mode+:
