Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I would like a way to equalize the window sizes. For instance, I have shrunken the left-most pane manually, but now want to equalize it to be the same width/height across all windows as much as possible. Yabai had a shortcut to equalize the windows right away without having to eyeball it (and I believe double-clicking on a windows edge also triggered this but I might be making that up).

Describe the solution you'd like Shortcut key to resize/divvy up the windows as equally as possible.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the existing keybinding system in Amethyst, then implement a new command to resize all windows to equal width/height by dividing the available space equally. Look at how other resize operations are implemented for guidance.
