How 'bout `C-x w -` and `C-x w |` instead? Of course, it'd also be nice to bring together/closer the root and non-root variants of those operations, but I have no good suggestion here, other than to suggest to use a new command which doesn't accept a numeric argument at all and only uses `C-u` to choose between a root split and non-root split. That's because I personally never use that numeric argument, and prefer to resize the windows afterwards rather than try to guess sizes beforehand. Stefan
