I think it is good as it can get until Emacs resizing is changed.
In Emacs 22.0.50 a 3rd argument was add to enlarge window:
Optional third arg PRESERVE-BEFORE, if non-nil, means do not
change the size of the siblings above or to the left of the
selected window. Only siblings to the right or below are changed.
I tried using this argument but I found a problem (bug ?).
When you have a configuration like:
+----------+----------+
+ lw1 + rw1 +
+----------+ +
+ lw2 +----------+
+----------+ rw2 +
+ lw3 + +
+----------+----------+
+ fw6 +
+----------+----------+
You can move the border between windows lw3/rw2 and fw6 with
enlarge-window command in lw3/rw2. i.e. the command
(enlarge-window 5 nil t) in lw3/rw2 does nothing.
Because the preserving is regarding only windows to the left and
above the current window (and there is no other way to specify the
size of a window) the "enlarging/shrinking" must be done from top
to bottom or left to right (which my function does).
Below is my latest version (using PRESERVE-BEFORE - available only
in 22.0) which is failing in such situation.
NOTE. This discussion really should be done in emacs-devel@gnu.org
list and not in help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org.
Ehud.
The lines with "^ ;; (" are for debugging, just drop the ";;" and
you'll see animation of the resizing with messages in the echo area.
