Vertical only resize

[mike890]

In many cases it is necessary to have vertical only resize with 100% width of the editor. The current resize addin does not support this configuration.

I suggest making this setting accept two values: 'x' and 'y' rather than just a restrict-to-vertical flag. Maybe call it 'resize_restrictToAxis' or something.

Proposed patch

The patch checks if the min and width have the same value and in that case ignores the changes of the resizer for that dimension.

I don't think this's the best way for such feature, will two extra one-dimension resize handler be a better choice?

[Garry Yao]

At least we should have separate config entries for them.

[Alfonso Martínez de Lizarrondo]

I see that I wrote the description wrong.

The patch checks if min and max values for a dimension have the same values, that means that the user doesn't want that dimension bigger or smaller that such value, and in that case that dimension isn't resized.

So without any extra config entries it's possible to disable the vertical or horizontal resize.

[Frederico Caldeira Knabben]

We need a dedicated setting for it. The fact is that, by default, users don't know what are the min and max values... in fact they don't care about the width at all, having the default values as good. They just want to have the editor resizable vertically only. We also have percent widths just to make things more complex.

Let's make it simpler for us and for our users: config.resize_dir = "both|vertical". We could have it also "horizontal" if it's easy to have, but that's not a priority.

Revised patch

[Alfonso Martínez de Lizarrondo]

The new patch introduces such config setting, as well as the previous system of automatically disabling resizing if max==min

[Garry Yao]

Almost there, we need a skin change to indicate the direction with different cursor type (s-resize and e-resize) also.

Revised patch

[Alfonso Martínez de Lizarrondo]

Cursor adjusted in new patch.

I've filed #5644 to provide new pictures for the grabber and place it in the middle of the bottom bar (or right side) for vertical or horizontal only resize.
