To move the vertical splitbar using the keyboard, use the "L" accelerator key (Alt-Shift-L in IE and Firefox).
This is the top-right horizontal pane. It tries to stay at its current size if you resize the bottom horizontal splitbar.
The splitbars are keyboard-accessible. Use Alt-Shift-V to select the vertical splitbar, or Alt-Shift-H for the horizontal one. Then use the arrow keys to move the bar. The plugin lets you specify any key for the access key, but be sure to test on all browsers in case they reserve those keystrokes.

This is the middle-right pane, which starts at a height that varies depending on the height of the browser window. Since the top pane has

This is the bottom-right pane of the splitter. It tries to stay at its current size if you resize the top horizontal splitbar.
To move the horizontal splitbar above this pane using the keyboard, use the "J" accelerator key (Alt-Shift-J in IE and Firefox).
