How to Resize Window Split in VIM in Mac?

Question

I wanted this question to be there just so it will also help someone in the future. Some of the VIM keyboard shortcuts have problems in the Mac keyboard convention. I read that Ctrl + W + > will resize.

But it doesn't seem to be working. What's the real way to do this?

If you want to resize the VIM view, while in the Normal mode, type :resize number For example, :resize 10 will create a view with 10 lines.

If you want to resize a window that can be any window and not just VIM, have a look at this post: https://superuser.com/questions/68811/what-keyboard-shortcuts-move-resize-and-maximize-windows-under-mac-os-x
