For a view that is attached to the workbench, you can do the following to 
resize it, using the keyboard.
1. Tab inside the view until the name of the view (on the tab) is highlighted 
(a screen reader will indicate that the view is highlighted).
2. Press enter to select the tab.
3. Press the Application key on the keyboard (usually to the left of the right-
hand Ctrl key).
4. Select Size from the menu and then select the direction - or select 
Maximize or Minimize.
5. Use the cursors to resize if you select from the Size menu.

You can detach the view using the same keystrokes, but choose Detached instead 
of Size/Maximize/Minimize. Once you do this, however, the Size options are no 
longer available. You can also no longer maximize or minimize the view.

When somebody is relying on a screen reader, the screen reader will only read 
what's available on the screen. Sometimes it's necessary to resize a view so 
all of its contents appear for the screen reader to read. If a view is 
detached, there's a good chance that the screen reader cannot read it's 
complete contents, unless the view is resized.
