--- Comment #10 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
We discussed the topic in the design meeting.

The only place where a splitter is changed per keyboard is Calc for the Split
Window with shift+ctrl+f6. Alt+left/right (and top/down) changes the cell
width/height (if the focus is not at the sidebar). 

Me struggles to understand why users need to adjust the UI per keyboard (if the
sidebar width is inappropriate we need to improve the implementation). Default
shortcuts, in particular when hard-coded, should be implemented only if
absolutely necessary. => WF

Although the request has no obvious use case it makes sense to add
accessibility to the discussion.

As a more general remark: key sequence interaction a la emacs/vim etc. would be
nice, maybe realized per extension.
