+
+ <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>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p><gui style="menuitem">132×24</gui></p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <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>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>In the sidebar, select your current profile in the <gui>Profiles</gui>
+ 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>
+ </item>
+ </steps>
