How did you get this idea?
Eclipse is my daily working environment. There’s one day I suddenly find I waste too much time on aligning and dragging sash to make an editor show more words. Why can’t I directly drag an editor to make it bigger?
Meanwhile, as a heavy middle button user with Firefox, I find that eclipse haven’t realized our mice have 3-buttons for years.
Then, I put them together.
What version of Eclipse is supported?
Eclipse 3.6 (Helios)
Eclipse 3.5 (Galileo)
Eclipse 3.4 (Ganymede)
Other eclipse-based IDEs, such as Flash Builder, Aptana, and etc.
How to use?
Easy Resizing is the main feature this plug-in will introduce. The idea is just simple: resize an editor or a view by middle-dragging:
Press the middle button of your mouse on an editor or a view.
See the notification area which responds to the position of the cursor.
Drag to resize the editor/view.
In addition, maximizing and minimizing editor/view are also enhanced. Just enjoy middle-clicking your editor/view:
