Originally created by @RedGreenBlue09 on GitHub (Aug 22, 2025).

Current behavior

Currently, the --size command uses the font of the default profile to calculate window size, which results in a different size when opening another profile with a different font setting.

Proposed change

Add a new Default launch size field to profile settings. If only one profile is requested at launch, use the size from the new field (--size overrides it) with the font settings of the specified profile. If multiple profiles is requested, use the current behavior.

Why do I need this feature

This is important for my workflow as I need to open an instance with many small cells instead of a few big cells. Changing from the settings page is slow and ruins the default settings.

Honestly, it sounds like you're just running into a bug.

If we respected the font size of the profile that you're spawning, would that be sufficient for you?

Yes, that's what I want, thanks.

I don't think it's a bug though, just a naive implementation.
