Description of the new feature/enhancement

  1. Include a Setting to auto-size the Terminal Window based on a percent of the current deskport/viewport size. For example, Width=80% display screen width; Height=40% Display Screen Height.
  2. Include a Setting to designate the top left screen coordinates for the Terminal window. For example, WindowPos=0,10 for the top left of the Terminal window to be positioned at row 0, column 10.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.
When such a Setting is enabled, the Terminal window will always open at these dimensions and coordinates.
