MaximizeTerminal README

Have you ever been frustrated that the integrated terminal is too small? Find yourself manually clicking the maximize button often? Yes? Then this extension is for you!

How do I use it?

Just press ctrl+' and your terminal will now open in its maximized state.

This keybinding can be reconfigured to some extent.

Why is it useful?

It's useful if:

  • You have a low resolution display

  • You don't use the native terminal for your platform

  • You just want the terminal to feel more separated from your text/source files

Extension Settings

These can be found in settings->extensions->maximizeterminal

  • Use Alternative Keybinding: use ctrl+; to invoke the extension, and leave ctrl+' with its default behaviour

Extension Commands

This extension implements the following commands:

  • Open Maximized Terminal: opens the terminal in its maximized state

  • Open Minimized Terminal: opens the terminal in its minimized state

  • Close Maximized Terminal: closes the terminal panel

Notes

If this extension breaks in the future, please submit a new issue at the GitHub repository.
