Description

Description of the new feature/enhancement

Is there anything akin to the golden ratio mode of emacs? If you have multiple panes open when you move focus to one it will auto resize everything to give it more room. This is particularly nice when working with many panes on a small screen so I don't have to resize them manually when switching around.
