OSXFAQ Mac OS X UNIX Tip-of-the-Day
Week 99 - Terminal Tricks (21 February 2005)
by
Adrian Mayo - Editor, OSXFAQ
Tuesday - Define Aliases and Functions
Define aliases and functions to move and resize. For example, to make a big screen use an alias:
(Bash)
$ alias big='echo -n "^[[3;0;0;t^[[8;0;0t"'
(tcsh)
% alias big 'echo -n "^[[3;0;0;t^[[8;0;0t"'
To size a screen use a Bash function or tcsh alias:
(Bash)
$ sz ()
> {
> echo -n "^[[8;$1;$2;t"
> }
(tcsh)
alias sz 'echo -n "^[[8;\!:1;\!:2;t"'
Then use:
$ sz 50 100
$ sz 25 80
These escape sequences work in both Apple's Terminal.app and X11 xterm.
