Outdated demo

How to use

Press Ctrl + shift + q to open up a prompt in which you can enter your commands to resize your selection.

Example usage

• l+20 // expand selection 20px from left side
• a-10 // contract 10px from all sides
• w/2 // divide width by 2
• x+100 // move selection 100px to the right
• h=200 // set height to 200px
• w25% // make width 25% its size

Multiple commands

You can easily combine multiple commands by separating them with a , or use multiple directions followed by an operator, like so:

• lrb+20 // expand selection 20px from left, right & bottom side
• wh=100 // set width & height to 100px
• xy+100 // move 100px to the right and down
• b-20,w=200 // contract 20px from the bottom side, set width to 200px
• w20%,h/3 // set width to 20%, divide height by 3
• w*2,tb+50,y-100 // double the width, add 50px to top and bottom, move up by 100px

Valid directions are:

Direction
t	Top
b	Bottom
r	Right
l	Left
a	All directions
w	Width
h	Height
x	X-axis
y	Y-axis

Operator
+	Plus
-	Minus
*	Multiply
=	Set w or h
/	Divide
%	Percentage
