OSXFAQ Mac OS X UNIX Tip-of-the-Day
Week 99 - Terminal Tricks (21 February 2005)
by
Adrian Mayo - Editor, OSXFAQ
Monday - Re-size and Move with Escape Sequences
Re-size and move a terminal window from the command line, or from a script, using the following escape sequences.
Re-size to a specific number of rows and columns (eg 50 rows by 100 columns):
$ echo -n "^[[8;50;100t"
(Note: the sequence displayed as ^[ represents the escape character, obtained by typing control-v then the 'esc' key.)
Re-size to the maximum screen width by giving columns as 0:
$ echo -n "^[[8;50;0t"
Re-size to the maximum screen height by giving rows as 0:
$ echo -n "^[[8;0;100t"
Move to a specific position (eg 10 pixels from the left, and 100 pixels from the top):
$ echo -n "^[[3;10;100;t"
When re-sizing to the maximum screen width and/or height, it is advisable to position the screen at the top left:
$ echo -n "^[[3;0;0;t^[[8;0;0t"
