Sorry to insist on this, but Emacs has also these two keybindings:
C-x { shrink-window-horizontally
C-x } enlarge-window-horizontally
I find it weird to have a keybinding for `shrink-window-horizontally'
and not for `shrink-window', which is more fundamental. Especially
because the default split (C-x 2) is horizontal, thus calling for
vertical resizing.
