Description Danny Sung 2001-11-02 06:26:21 UTC 
Sometimes it'd be nice to be able to "zoom" in to a terminal, similar to
the effect of hitting ALT-ENTER in a dos box under Windows.  A nice feature
might be a toggle flag where if you resize/maximize the window, then
instead of simply providing more rows/columns, it will keep the row/col
static while scaling all the fonts to the requested window size.

Ideally, the window manager should even be able to communicate this via a
ctrl/alt-type modifier + resize event.

There is a fullscreen mode in gnome-terminal in 2.0. Maybe a keyboard
shortcut for that would be nice?
Comment 2 Havoc Pennington 2002-07-13 14:13:42 UTC 
WMs that support fullscreen mode (metacity, sawfish) already allow a
shortcut to be defined for that, I think.

So it sounds like this can be closed, then? Please reopen if I've
overstepped.
