First, not well documented the resize options, just when using more than 2
args, you get this error
usage: resize [-h] [-v] [-l] [num]
Looking at the code there is one more option -b (both) and num can be suffixed
whith %
2-
I've also found an error :
related to 01CVS.dpatch, lenny-11.diff, line 5539 and squeeze-14.diff, line
5857 :
ResizeRegions(*args, 0);
should be ResizeRegions(*args, i); (suggestion)
because now it just ignores the resizing mode (h/v/b/l) when giving 2 args,
when giving just 1 it works in interactive mode.
And it's important to work in batch mode (screenrc)
3-
args[0] = "up";
args[1] = 0;
SaveAction(ktab + T_BACKTAB - T_CAPS + 256, RC_FOCUS, args, 0);
What does it mean? SHIFT + TAB does not work, which is the default keybind for
reverse cycling over regions?
4-
And related to 525998, I think this bug should also be applied to lenny, like
this one if it's accepted.
I use lenny and spent a lot of time just because googling, found that ^a+| and
vert_split should already work in lenny and yes, ^a+| worked but vert_split is
split -v and only looking at the code found the solution, screen is a very
usefull tool, vertical splitting, moving and resizing are also very usefull...
and in lenny too!!
Thanks

Version: 5.0.1-2
Hi,
The two issues reported here have been fixed, probably in a previous
version of screen. I have only verified this against 5.0.1-2.
- The ResizeRegions issue (ResizeRegions(*args, 0) vs i) is no longer
present; current version uses ResizeRegions(*args, i).
- Current docs already describe resize with -h|-v|-b|-l|-p and % forms.
Cheers,
Peter Dey
