For IntelliJ 2022.2 and later

macOS:

  • To resize a vertical tool window, press ⌃ ⌥ ← and ⌃ ⌥ →
  • To resize a horizontal tool window, press ⌃ ⌥ ↑ and ⌃ ⌥ ↓

Windows:

  • To resize a vertical tool window, press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Left and Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Right
  • To resize a horizontal tool window, press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Up and Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Down

In older versions (2017.1.2 and later)

Outdated now, but for IntelliJ 2017.1.2, to resize a Tool window, hold Ctlr-Shift and use the arrow keys to either shrink or expand the window.
