Research direction

Start by locating the existing shortcut handling for resizing column widths and the window layout logic in the Karousel KWin script. Trace how a window is identified as being within a column, then define the corresponding grow and shrink height actions. Done means keyboard shortcuts can resize a column-contained window vertically without relying on mouse movement.
