Shortcut to Resize the Window #1

Description

@ankit02327

There should be a keybinding such that when those keys are pressed, the three windows resize themselves into the ratio they have by default;
This fixes the problem if a user manually resizes the windows and then wants the default back;
Also if some pop up opens in nvim ; it distrubs the size of the windows permanently so a temporary solution is for the user to use the keybinding to manually reset the size; though this should happen automatically (A particular example, let's say if a user in nvim has directory pane and he/she toogles it and it has been confirmted that the input output pane gets diestoredted permanently until user manually resizes it)I’ve noticed that when working with multiple windows in Neovim, the layout often gets distorted:

  • If I manually resize any window, it breaks the original proportions.
  • When toggling the file explorer or when a popup/floating window opens, the I/O pane especially tends to lose its intended ratio and doesn’t return to normal after closing.

Right now, the only fix is to manually resize everything, which is tedious.

What I need

A simple keybinding that will reset all windows back to the default ratios defined by the plugin. This would give me a quick way to restore the layout whenever something breaks.

Future improvement

Ideally, the reset should happen automatically after closing temporary windows (like directory pane or popups). But until then, a manual keybinding will be a good fallback.

Example workflow

  • I have three panes: code, I/O, and directory in their intended ratio.
  • I toggle the directory pane → the I/O pane gets distorted.
  • Press the reset keybinding → everything snaps back to the default proportions.
