Description of the new feature

Description:

Currently, when opening a new pane in Windows Terminal using the keyboard shortcut Alt + Shift + D, resizing the pane requires using the arrow keys in conjunction with Alt + Shift.

This feature request proposes allowing users to resize the newly opened pane directly with their mouse.

Expected Behavior:

  1. Initial Pane Opening:

    • User presses Alt + Shift + D to open a new pane.
    • A new pane is created with a default size.
  2. Mouse-Based Resizing:

    • User hovers their mouse cursor over the edge of the newly opened pane.
    • Cursor changes to indicate resize mode (e.g., double-headed arrow).
    • User drags the mouse to resize the pane horizontally or vertically.
    • Pane size adjusts accordingly.

Benefits:

  • Increased User-Friendliness: Provides a more intuitive and efficient way to resize panes, especially for users who prefer mouse-based interactions.
  • Enhanced Accessibility: May be more accessible to users with certain motor impairments who may find keyboard-only resizing challenging.

Alternatives Considered:

  • Configurable Default Pane Size: Allow users to define default pane sizes for different scenarios.
  • Keyboard Shortcuts for Common Resizes: Implement dedicated keyboard shortcuts for common resize actions (e.g., maximize pane, resize to half-screen).
