Merge lp://staging/~waldner/terminator/fast-resize into lp://staging/terminator/gtk3

Any news on this?

I would recommend not to use the shift+arrow key combos. I suspect the reason they're unused is because for some people and some keyboards that combo is hit a lot accidentally. If alt+ctrl+shift+arrow is unused by anything, that might be a safer default.

As I think Stephen already mentioned, it's hard to find unused key combos for Terminator, so wise to avoid adding new ones unless absolutely necessary.

If the need for this patch is primarily due to need for configuring your terminal layout on startup, it may be overall better to look at creating a profile with pre-defined terminal window layouts. I can explain how to do this if that's your use case.

In the first comment of the bug report, the idea was floated to make the resize amount for ctrl+shift+arrow configurable. Would that satisfy your requirements? If so, it may be a way to avoid using up key combos.

After a bit of experimenting, I settled on the separate keyboard shortcut for fast resize because I wanted to be able to alternate regular (slow) and fast resizing as needed, depending on what I'm doing.
Also, using a preset configuration to be applied at terminal startup doesn't work for me, since I keep splitting/removing windows all the time and the need to do a fast resize at a given moment is dictated by the task I'm actually performing (eg, I need to quickly resize to better see a long log line, but then I resize back just as quickly).

Shift+arrow keys is what works for me, and as far as I can see it's unused in terminator (as per terminatorlib/config.py). I can certainly change the default to alt+ctrl+shift+arrow (also unused), if that helps to have a better change of merging.

FWIW, here's the safer default of <Ctrl><Shift><Alt><arrow> implemented.

Is there anything else that should be done to get this in shape?
