Resize terminal from command?

Question

I'm using cygwin but, is it possible to resize the terminal window via a command rather than doing it myself every time I open it? Some scripts I want to be a certain size for my own benefit.

Answer 1

The 'CSI t' sequence can be used for that on xterm-compatible terminals. Search https://invisible-island.net/xterm/ctlseqs/ctlseqs.html for XTWINOPS for details.

For example, to resize to 50 rows and 80 columns.

echo -ne '\e[8;50;80t'
