<p>If you work with certain command line applications that have minimum
|
||
terminal size requirements in order to display correctly, or if you want to
|
||
view long lines of terminal output with minimal line breaks on your
|
||
display, you may require <app>Terminal</app> windows to be of a particular
|
||
size.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>You can change the <app>Terminal</app> window size to some preset
|
||
values:</p>
|
||
|
||
<steps>
|
||
<item>
|
||
<p>Press the menu button in the top-right corner of the window and select
|
||
<gui style="menuitem">Advanced</gui>.</p>
|
||
</item>
|
||
<item>
|
||
<p>Choose one of the following options:</p>
|
||
<list>
|
||
<item>
|
||
<p><gui style="menuitem">80×24</gui></p>
|
||
</item>
|
||
<item>
|
||
<p><gui style="menuitem">80×43</gui></p>
|

<p><gui style="menuitem">132×43</gui></p>
|

</item>
|

</list>
|

</item>
|
||
</steps>
|
||
|
||
<note style="tip">
|
||
<p>If you have enabled <link xref="pref-keyboard-access"><gui>Menu access
|
||
keys</gui></link>, you can access this menu by pressing
|
||
<keyseq><key>Alt</key><key>T</key></keyseq> and then pressing <key>1</key>
|
||
to switch the <app>Terminal</app> window to size <gui>80×24</gui> and so
|
||
on.</p>
|
||
</note>
|
||
|
||
<p>If you require custom size <app>Terminal</app> windows, you can also set
|
||
the default window size according to your requirements:</p>
|
||
|
||
<steps>
|
||
<item>
|
||
<p>Press the menu button in the top-right corner of the window and select
|
||
<gui style="menuitem">Preferences</gui>.</p>

|
||
section.</p>
|
||
</item>
|
||
<item>
|
||
<p>Select <gui style="tab">Text</gui>.</p>
|
||
</item>
|
||
<item>
|
||
<p>Set <gui>Initial terminal size</gui> by typing the desired number of columns and
|
||
rows in the corresponding input boxes. You can also click
|
||
<gui style="button">+</gui> to increase or <gui style="button">-</gui> to
|
||
decrease the size.</p>
