This has been asked before, but I am not sure that the solution provided (it was a 7 years old post) works.

Basically, I want that every time I open the terminal, it does on fullscreen. I tried writing a command on the profile, but I got a weird glitch.

Anyway. I am open to suggestions. Thanks.

  • @masterxilo I did. Which is why in my post I did a reference to a solution from 7 years ago (that post precisely) and the reason why I uploaded these screenshots.

    The problem is that when I go with that script on the box (run ... custom command ... gnome-terminal --full-screen) and then I open a new terminal, that one goes crazy and flickers all over the screen. You can try it by yourself if you doubt me. I am certain that you will see exactly what I saw, and it is a disturbing glitch that caught me by surprise.

If you want to run terminal (and specifically terminal) full-screen, just create a window size larger than the display resolution. This will force terminal to start full-screen. To do so, go to Preferences, then the Text Appearance section, and set the Initial Terminal Size to some appropriately large size. I've been running my terminal application for years this way.

Alternatively, you could directly edit /usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Terminal.desktop and set Exec=gnome-terminal to Exec=gnome-terminal --maximize, though this will require you to re-edit this file in the event you decide to make the window a different size.

This is my solution. It may not be the one that I was looking for, but it works.

I went to settings and disabled the shortcut for opening the regular terminal.

Then I created a custom shortcut with the following command: gnome-terminal --full-screen and gave it a keybinding (control + alt + t in my case)

No idea why there isn't that option on preferences, or why there isn't a space on the profiles section to write something like that. But anyway, it worked.

Feel free to leave your comments below, suggestions, opinions, anything. Cheers.
