Console resizing

[schors]

Is it possible to open Windows console or/and xterm with custom size?
Is it possible to resize console?

I found references to corresponding Windows API functions inside code for example. But I could not find any ways to use that functionality

you can resize by click dragging, but there is no programmatic way to do this at present from inside tcell.

generally (historically) you cannot count on this. very few terminals let you change the size, and to be honest doing so is usually misguided (overriding user defaults) -- though I will acknowledge there may be specific applications where forcing the size is useful and warranted.

Yep. I agree. But this function can improve usability a lot of specific applications. In my case it's ebeded device debugging dashboard. My tool not usable with less than 40 rows window. It's requirement. And Windows API has certain functions (SetConsoleWindowInfo and SetConsoleBufferSize), and tcell implements binding for these functions. But we can't use them :)
P.S. I don't know anything about xterm

So there is an escape sequence that Xterm and clones may support:

CSI 8;height;width;t

So I can probably expose this. We might want to investigate supporting other more advanced terminal emulator features as well... some of this has already started.

Note that the new Windows terminal doesn't support the escape sequences (although it probably does via the Win32 console API): microsoft/terminal#5094
