# Terminal sizes

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 Terminal windows to be of a particular size.

You can change the Terminal window size to some preset values:

Press the menu button in the top-right corner of the window and select Advanced.

Choose one of the following options:

80×24

80×43

132×24

132×43

If you have enabled Menu access keys, you can access this menu by pressing Alt T and then pressing 1 to switch the Terminal window to size 80×24 and so on.

If you require custom size Terminal windows, you can also set the default window size according to your requirements:

Press the menu button in the top-right corner of the window and select Preferences.

In the sidebar, select your current profile in the Profiles section.

Select Text.

Set Initial terminal size by typing the desired number of columns and rows in the corresponding input boxes. You can also click + to increase or - to decrease the size.
