I am running Ubuntu precise. I usually rely on the ALT-CTRL-T shortcut to open a new terminal. However the location is pops up as well as its size are not very convenient and I have to subsequently use the mouse to drag/resize the terminal. Is there a way to configure the terminal's initial size and location?

  • From what I know, there's a way to start the terminal maximized but IDK if there's a way to manually set x and y positions, I could be wrong, though. Nov 3, 2012 at 15:46

I you right klick in your terminal window, select Profiles > Default profile. You should be able to edit your terminal's default size there.

To change the way new windowa appear, you should use ccsm.

sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

Run ccsm, scroll down to the plugin called "place windows" or something, click it and you'll get access to the settings.

    Still works in Ubuntu 14.04 (at least for me).
