How can I resize a tool window in IntelliJ IDEA using the keyboard?

Question

Using the JetBrains IDE, how can i resize the intellij idea project panel,project panel and other panels using just the keyboard

My IntelliJ build is: IntelliJ IDEA 2017.1.2

Answer 1

This is an update as Luciano's answer does not work for me: on 2021.2.2, in the windows keymap, the default is Ctrl + Alt + Shift + arrowKey . You can also change it there.

Answer 2

To resize a Tool window, hold Ctlr - Shift and use the arrow keys to either shrink or expand the window.
