*Note to Gmail users*: _wrapping up <iframe></iframe>s does not interact well with Gmail's dynamic use of them. I recommend that you either @exclude *mail.google.com* or that you use the Set Tags command to make sure that <iframe></iframe>s are not resizable. I have chosen the latter for the default settings._

Element Resizer allows you to dynamically resize page elements using either the mouse or the keyboard. The resizable tags can be specified by the Set Tags command, available on Firefox/Greasemonkey under Tools > User Script Commands. When focused (or hovered over), resizable elements will show a resizer handle at each corner. A handle will grow when hovered over, and the side of a resizable element will turn into a blue resizer bar when hovered over.

Resizes are always one of three general types, and can have up to two special behaviors:

In flow

The element stays in the page flow, and other elements are moved/resized as appropriate.

Out of flow

The element "floats" above other content.

Maximized

The element "floats" above other content and does not scroll with the page.

Locked aspect ratio

The aspect ratio (ratio of width to height) of the element does not change.

Centered

The center of the element does not change.

Mouse Resizing

Drag on a handle or a resizer bar to finely control the size of an element, and end the drag to keep the resize or press Escape to cancel it. This resize defaults to out of flow, and is affected by the following modifier keys:

Shift

locked aspect ratio

Control

centered

Alt

in flow

Clicking on a handle or a resizer bar also has an effect. If Shift is held, the element is toggled to/from maximized (if the element is already maximized, it is returned to the resized state, or to reset if there is no non-maximized resized state). If Shift is not held, the element is toggled to/from reset (if the element is already reset, it is returned to the resized state, or to maximized if there is no resized state).

Keyboard Resizing

(Text entry) elements can be resized with the keyboard:

Alt+Enter

in flow height increase

Shift+Alt+Enter

in flow height decrease

Control+Space

in flow width increase

Shift+Control+Space

in flow width decrease

Control+Up

centered out of flow height increase

Control+Down

centered out of flow height decrease

Control+Right

centered out of flow width increase

Control+Left

centered out of flow width decrease

Alt+Minus

toggle reset (defaulting to maximized)

Alt+Plus

toggle maximized (preferring resized over reset)

Restoring Elements

Elements can be restored to their original position and dimensions ^†. To do so, click on a resizer handle or bar while holding Alt; or alternately press Alt+Backspace or Alt+Delete while the element has the focus. Restore all elements with the Restore All command.

^†Dimensions may be slightly off for elements with intrinsic dimensions, like form elements and inline frames.
