Equalize Splits doesn't work on double clicking on divider in macOS

[pavelxdd]

Issue Description

I was going to make a Feature Request about this issue, but searching through the repo found (#4354) so I suppose this feature does already exist, but it doesn't work on my macOS (15.5). The only way to equalize splits, is find this option in Cmd-Shift-P popup menu.

Expected Behavior

Double clicking on a divider should equalize splits.

Actual Behavior

Double clicking on a divider has no effect.

Reproduction Steps

1. Open ghostty
2. Press Cmd-D to create a split
3. Resize split by mouse/touchpad
4. Double click on a divider and nothing happens.

I acknowledge that:

• I have reviewed the FAQ and confirm that my issue is NOT among them.
• I have searched the Ghostty repository (both open and closed Discussions and Issues) and confirm this is not a duplicate of an existing issue or discussion.
• I have checked the "Preview" tab on all text fields to ensure that everything looks right, and have wrapped all configuration and code in code blocks with a group of three backticks (```) on separate lines.

I believe this would be a feature request you are on macos, and I don't see any PR that implements the feature on macos

The only way to equalize splits, is find this option in Cmd-Shift-P popup menu.

thats not true its bound to super+ctrl+shift+plus by default (you can rebind it to whatever you want)

[rhodes-b]

also the issue you are referencing was reverted on linux as well like the post in it says
#4354 (comment)

thats not true its bound to super+ctrl+shift+plus by default (you can rebind it to whatever you want).

By default, this action isn't bound to a key (at least on macOS), but you're right that it can be reassigned.

The discussion is about implementing a double-click on a divider to equalize panes. This is common and expected behavior in many applications with dividers. For example, double-clicking the divider between two side-by-side fullscreen apps on macOS equalizes their space. The same functionality exists in VSCode for its splits.

Should I submit a feature request?

[mitchellh]

Accepted feature request #8357.

This is pretty normal behavior, imo, for splits, so we should port this over to macOS as well.
