This is getting a bit off-topic, but one thing that bothers me is "normal" resizing under Windows. I'd rather it behave like it does under X (and command windows do under Windows), jumping to even multiples of lines & columns. I use a tiny zsh script to clean up (with the added benefit of allowing you to resize via command line): -----CUT----- #!/usr/bin/zsh # Resize RXVT window to an exact number of LINES & COLUMNS # # Usage: # fs [LINES] [COLUMNS] # # Where LINES or COLUMNS may be: # # <number> - specify exact value # (+|-|*|/)<number> - value relative to current setting (+1, /2, etc.) # <anything else> - use current setting (current text region) # # 'fs' by itself trims the current window to exactly match its text region # # E.g.: # Trim to fit text: fs # Set width to 132: fs . 132 # Set to 24x80: fs 24 80 # Add one line: fs +1 # Double the width: fs . '*2' # must quote '*' from the shell case $1 in +[0-9]*|-[0-9]*|\*[0-9]*|/[0-9]*) ((L = $LINES $1)) ;; [0-9]*) L=$1 ;; *) L=$LINES ;; esac case $2 in +[0-9]*|-[0-9]*|\*[0-9]*|/[0-9]*) ((C = $COLUMNS $2)) ;; [0-9]*) C=$2 ;; *) C=$COLUMNS ;; esac print $'\e[8;'"$L;${C}t" -----CUT----- gsw -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
