  <title><app>Terminal</app> sizes</title>

  <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>Select <gui style="menu">Terminal</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>Open <guiseq><gui style="menu">Edit</gui>
      <gui style="menuitem">Preferences</gui></guiseq>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Your current profile is selected in the sidebar. If you wish to edit
      a different profile, click on its name.</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>
