Specifying the Window Size

Specifying the Window Size

To specify the Terminal application window size, select Edit > Window Size. This displays a dialog box as follows:

Page Layout dialog box which contains controls to specify columns, rows, scrollback lines, and pages.

The maximum number of columns is 132 and the maximum number of rows is 64. As you make changes, the dialog box updates the number of scrollback lines and the number of pages available. Then select one of the following:

  • Apply changes only the current session.

  • Save does not change the current instance but saves the window size information for new sessions.

Note:

When you change the window size, the Terminal application erases all current data in both the current display page and all back pages. Further, if there is a font selected for that size, the Terminal application selects it.
