How size the windows horizontally in emacs

How size the windows horizontally in emacs

[Anand Dhanakshirur]

Hi,
When we have mutliple windows.
We can move the window divider in up or down direction(vertically).
But we can't move the window divider left ot right(horizonatlly).
Is there any way to do that?
gvim does it nice.

Very nice emacs package: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/DoReMi
DoReMi allows you to change some things very quickly via cursor key
or mouse wheel. This things are for example windows height (and width),
buffers, marks, bookmarks, color themes, fonts, frame position
and geometry. And of course you can adapt DoReMi for your own purposes.

Very recommended!

regards
Marc

You can drag the window divider on the modeline, where there are no
scrollbars in the way.
