VIM vertical resize to a specific direction

I'm trying to remap the regular vim shortcut Ctrl-W+< and Ctrl-W+> to resize the current active pane to the specified direction ('<' for left and '>' for right) but unfortunately I couldn't find a command which does that, only a command which increases/decreases the pane size by the specified amount, which is not what I need.

this is currently what I have:

nnoremap <C-w>> :vertical res +5<CR>
nnoremap <C-w>< :vertical res -5<CR>

But this increases the current window size by 5 columns no matter if I'm in the right pane or the left pane, which is not very intuitive.

Is there a command which resizes current window to left or right (similiar to Tmux way of doing those things)?

You could set it based on the window number:

au! WinEnter * call SetWinAdjust()

fun! SetWinAdjust()
   if winnr() > 1
      nnoremap <C-w>> <C-w><
      nnoremap <C-w>< <C-w>>
   else
      nnoremap <C-w>> <C-w>>
      nnoremap <C-w>< <C-w><
   endif
endfun
