Not persistent windows resizing

Describe the bug

When I resize the window and close the terminal (with a red button or cmd+Q), the size of the window resizes back to the default value that comes with installation.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce:

1. Go to terminal
2. Resize the window to another width and height
3. Close the terminal
4. Open it againç you'll see your resized window is not persistent

Expected behaviour

When I reopen the terminal window, it should be opened with the custom width and height I resized.

@madatbay thanks for reporting. Is session restoration enabled in settings? can you share a video

[madatbay]

@elviskahoro here you're link Only size remains in the CMD+Q shortcut option, X's are not working

[elviskahoro]

The video has been archived @madatbay can you just drop the file here in github. It can embed

can we get this please?

it's annoying to use warp when it keeps changing my preference (rectangle window) to square window everytime i launch it.

Hi all, I'm Danny, Support Engineer with Warp. We are aware of this. I've marked this internally as a feature request. Please +1 this request as it helps us gauge interest. We will post any updates here.

[danaspiegel]

Definitely would like to see this. Additionally, it would be helpful to be able to configure what the new window size is for any new windows created. OS X Terminal has this as well, with a hotkey (cmd-option-0) to resize the current window to be the default window size. The hotkey is useful because the window size changes if you sleep the display and swap monitors.

[dezerving]

Persistent window sizing with setting dimensions manually would be amazing. If not that then at least just honor whatever we last set the window size to. +1

guys don't unnecessarily do +1. just react 👍 on first comment.

lots of people are subscribed to this issue get useless notification emails.

[esycat]

It would be handy to set window size in launch configurations.

[jackbow]

+1 for the hotkey window height

[Haruno19]

+1! Persistent/configurable window size is much needed! It's the only "big" productivity issue I am facing right now with Warp

[devajmeireles]

+1 persistent/configurable window size - Warp only prioritizes for AI and forget basic things like it.

[glhrmv]

This is a must have. Additionally, I would suggest setting the default size to be a lot smaller. On a MacBook Pro, the window takes up about 2/3 of the screen.

[RoyRao2333]

Yes, each of us came here would want this feature. But you can simply click the little thumb-up button rather than reply how you want this feature badly because the subscribers of this issue just wanna see some progress, not these complains. Thanks! :)

[dannyneira]

Consolidated several requests into this one, requesting persistent/configurable window size/location on window open/in launch configurations.

[zachlloyd]

I'm currently working on (parts) of this request and would love feedback on whether I'm doing it in a way that satisfies folks needs.

Part 1: Reopen closed windows with the same size and location -- check out this video and let me know if it's right

https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/8727141/235011000-b5c4103c-797a-4e90-b645-7495d7c6bcac.mov

Part 2: Set a default size for all new windows -- is this the correct idea?

[jackbow]

That looks great! Thanks for working on it!

I'm curious if it fixes my personal use case which is with the dedicated hotkey window (settings -> features -> keys -> global hotkey -> dedicated hotkey window) (which I've got at 100% width, 40% height & pin to top). I want to be able to open the hotkey window, drag the bottom window border to enlarge the window, dismiss the window, re-open it, and have the same height as previous.

Here's a video of how it works for me now (on v0.2023.04.25.08.05.stable_00): https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/15710512/235026787-8d579015-d3b0-406a-88ef-b1ed64f11a49.mov

Here's a video of how it would ideally work (using iterm): https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/15710512/235027110-60bb343a-8005-462d-b585-d88bb209b7fe.mov

[zachlloyd]

Great call on the hotkey window - I would have missed that. I'll make sure that works correctly.

[zachlloyd]

@jackbow how would you expect the "remember the last size" behavior to interact with the explicit settings for height and width?

Some options:

• We could default those settings to be only for the first time you open the window and remember the last size by default
• We could add another explicit setting around "remember the quake windows last size" that overrides the size from settings

@robbieejones any thoughts?

[jackbow]

Either of the options sound good to me 👍

[robbieejones]

@zachlloyd I personally prefer option 1 as it's simpler.

[zachlloyd]

@jackbow Actually, we debugged this internally, and it's already supposed to be working the way you suggest, but on some kinds of monitors there's a bug (which I'm going to try and fix).

If you change your hotkey setting from Active Screen to Main Screen does that workaround fix it for you?

[lou-daiglecostello]

@zachlloyd that looks great, thanks! Two questions:

1. Does that part 1 behavior--recall of last size and location after close--work the same way after quit, as well?
2. What's the behavior across multiple MacOS Spaces?

Re question 2, I think "expected" to me would mean the last size/location from any space to determine the next new window size/location on another Space. For example, if I were to relocate and resize a window in one space, switch to another space, and open a new window there, it would have the same size and location of the last one I interacted with on the previous desktop. But whatever is the norm is fine, just wouldn't want the Spaces handling to get overlooked since I'm a heavy user of them.

Totally fine if any of that is not in scope, too, just asking!

Hi, In my case, as explained in the issue I opened, mentioned above, no matter which screen I choose, it always opens on the same screen, as if it could read which screens I have, but not managing to open anywhere except the screen it's on (or my main screen when laptop is closed, or laptop screen when it's open).

Hope the extra info helps.

[zachlloyd]

FYI this is partially fixed in our latest release: v0.2023.05.09.08.03.stable_01

We now remember and reopen windows at the position and size of the last closed window.

I'm working on a setting for opening windows at a default size now

[OldSubSailor]

I do not know about all this hot key stuff; however; dana's November 13 post, above; the macOS window settings were shown and that is what I thought was being asked, and what I am looking for. That is when I drag to resize a window to my liking, I would like to see a way to save that size so that it returns if I close the window or if I quit the Warp application. To date, that is not happening, in that I have to resize every time that I open the application. I had hoped that simply clicking on that check mark while in Settings would do the job, but no joy. Perhaps I am, or evidently I am missing something, but I had thought that going to Settings would be the natural place to adjust and set the window size.

[apolzon]

It would be great if there was also support for specific window sizes in launch configurations. Right now, when I open warp normally, I always get a full-size/maximized window (which is what I want), but if I open a launch configuration its using some random window size (about 50% of screen?)

[dannyneira]

Hi Folks, Warps Appearance Settings allow you to set a custom size for new Windows. See more in our docs https://docs.warp.dev/appearance/opacity-blurring-dimming#window-size
