I have been looking for ways to full screen my Git terminal screen on windows.  I tried tweaking the property settings but no luck.  I found few crazy hacks online , but could not get it to work! :(  I am at a loss to understand why I can't find an easy way to accomplish such basic thing.

Anyone know why doesn't the Windows command prompt window maximize to the full screen size?  To the best of my knowledge, even in the new Windows 7 the command prompt window(cmd.exe) doesn't maximize to the full screen size like all other windows. This behavior is quite annoying for me, and I'm sure to many others as well.   Note: The size of the command prompt window can be , but the size remains fixed regardless of the screen size.

Can I see images and watch movies inside the terminal emulator? In case of virtual console I can do it via framebuffer, but what about terminal emulators?

I would like to open a terminal, split it to lets say 9 parts (3x3) and execute some bash script. But for each terminal part different script.   Can this be done using perl, python or even bash?  How can I switch between those little terminals without using keyboard shortcuts?  Oh, by the way, I'm using terminator. And if there is some other terminal emulator that enables such a functionality, which is it?

Opening the command prompt ("cmd") on Vista into full screen causes the application to take up 100% vertical space, but only about 50% horizontal. Is there not a way I can make this fullscreen? If it's simply not possible, what is a good replacement?

I used to use full-screen consoles (those opened with Ctrl+Alt+F1...F6) actively and have come to an idea that I would like to try decorating it with a "wallpaper" of a sort (a rather dark and monotonous one of course so that it wouldn't decrease readability), perhaps this could look and feel nice (or not, but I need to try). It would even better if I could set different pictures as different console's background (one for Ctrl+Alt+F1, another for Ctrl+Alt+F2 etc).  The fact the consoles have much higher resolution that pure text mode provides suggests that full-fledged graphical mode is used for them and everything is possible. But how?

Relatively often, I find myself wanting to quit less but leave what I was viewing on the screen, to refer back to. Is there any way to do this? Workarounds?  (My current workaround is to quit, then use more. So any workaround that's better than that is welcomed. The ideal would be something I can use once I'm already inside less, perhaps with a shell setting or some scripting.)  My desktop is OSX, but I use RHEL and Ubuntu servers.

I recently switched from Ubuntu, and I was feeling very comfortable with using Ctrl + Alt + T to launch terminal. Can I assign Shift + Cmd + T to do the same thing in Yosemite? Specifically, I want a new terminal window to be opened.

I opened terminal windows and I got a message   your screen size %d%d is bogus. Expect trouble   I closed the terminal and the next time I opened terminal, the message didn't show up.   What is this message and why did I receive it?

Sorry for being so simple but i'm finding it really difficult to work out how to split screens and then rejoin them.   so i grab the corner of a screen and drag it creates a new screen then i grab the corner again and sometimes it creates a new one and sometimes it merges them.   I'm a bit confused about the controls.  I looked on the 2.8 manual and I think its a bit out of date as it looks the same as 2.79.  Any help is greatly appreciated

Based on , I wrote the following Applescript which would allow me to click the green (zoom) button at the top-left corner of an window. I want to apply the script to MacVim and others which have the green button as "AXFullScreenButton". But, running the script makes the window to FULL SCREEN rather than a "maximized" window. Can anyone tell what is wrong?  tell application "System Events"     key down option     click (first button whose subrole is "AXFullScreenButton") of ¬              (first window whose subrole is "AXStandardWindow") of ¬             (first process whose frontmost is true)     key up option     set frontApp to (name of first application process whose ¬             frontmost is true) as string end tell tell application frontApp to activate

I'm new to macOS and I really like the way you can assign a window to be it's own Desktop via full-screening. However, I have an issue with the default way the Menu bar works in full-screen.   I often move my cursor to the top of the screen to click on my tabs in my browsers and editors, and accidentally trigger the Menu bar obscuring my tabs. Other times I'd like the Menu bar to be available at a glance rather than having to trigger it by mousing up.  Is there some setting or application that will force the Menu bar to show at all times for full-screened windows?  It appears I'm not the first to have this issue, but the solutions in  didn't work for me and based on the comment for the top answer it won't work for anyone.  If there is no way to do this can anyone give me a hint where I can get started writing an application to do this?  PS: Please don't suggest that I simply hold alt when clicking the fullscreen green button or anything else like just resize the window to fill the screen". This doesn't solve my issue because it strips away many of the advantages of fullscreening.

Is there any reason why this is missing from Unity? It's a really helpful thing to have when you have a lot of windows open.

I got used to splitting my application windows on monitor into 4 sides top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right with key combinations like Ctrl+Alt+Key3 and so on. It no longer works with Ubuntu 18.04. Is there any alternative for that with Ubuntu 18.04?

I want to tell compiz, metacity, the gnome-terminal or whoever is in charge to open the terminal window maximized by default.  How can I do that?  EDIT for the future: most of the answers were upvoted in older ubuntu versions, since 17.10 and on the most upvoted solutions do not work.

About 10 minutes ago I set up my basic Terminal app to be semi-transparent and was really happy with the result. Now, some updates ran and the whole "Background" tab is gone from Terminal settings. Was this option removed? If yes, why? Why would anyone do that?  I'm running gnome-terminal 3.10.2 from the Gnome3 ppa.

I was wondering if there was any was I could right click inside any instance of a "Finder" window such that I have an option that says "Open Terminal Here". It would be really helpful.

What command(s) can I use in the terminal that's equivalent to the PrtSc (Print Screen) button?  I am running Ubuntu GNOME.
