Hey Peter (@peternlewis),
Many applications support double-clicking the panel border to resize a panel to fit its contents.
The Finder in List-View for instance.
Script Debugger's Result & Variables tab.
Would it be possible to do this in the Keyboard Maestro Editor?
Double-clicking in the indicated borders would resize the panel on the left to fit its contents.
I find this feature very useful where it is available.

I for one would really appreciate it if you could implement Adjust-to-Width for the textual columns in Keyboard Maestro.
In the Finder as you know you can double-click the column divider and the column will adjust its width to accommodate the longest file/folder name.
It would be really nice if Keyboard Maestro would do this.
It would be even more nice if that could be automated.
In Mavericks I had a Keyboard Maestro macro that would do this using System Events.
In Yosemite Apple changed things, and to make it work again requires some major under-the-hood changes to calculate the double-click location. I have not taken the time yet to fix it, but I will soon — because it's something I use all the time.
Normally in Keyboard Maestro I have fixed the width of the columns to my taste, but sometimes when I resize the editor all that breaks — and I have to fix it.
Being able to script the width of those columns wouldn't piss me off either.
Noted.
Peter.
That's not even 4 years ago - give me a chance. Sheesh!
I almost did this, since I wanted it for documentation window capture setup. But sadly for you I just hacked something instead.
