I use some functions (below) in my $Profile
to move and resize my PowerShell consoles. These work very nicely. I would like to use Windows Terminal
more but I would also like to have these types of operations work there and presumably there must be some techniques to manipulate these windows (either PowerShell or accessing .NET
functions).
How can I achieve similar results to the below within Windows Terminal sessions?
Note that this question is specifically about manipulation of the new Windows Terminal
and not the PowerShell console
(where the below work fine). The new Windows Terminal from Microsoft is here
Here's my code:
function Global:Set-ConsolePosition ($x, $y, $w, $h) {
# Note: the DLL code below should not be indented from the left-side
Add-Type -Name Window -Namespace Console -MemberDefinition '
[DllImport("Kernel32.dll")]
public static extern IntPtr GetConsoleWindow();
[DllImport("user32.dll")]
public static extern bool MoveWindow(IntPtr hWnd, int X, int Y, int W, int H); '
# Do the Add-Type outside of the function as repeating it in a session can cause errors
$consoleHWND = [Console.Window]::GetConsoleWindow();
$consoleHWND = [Console.Window]::MoveWindow($consoleHWND, $x, $y, $w, $h);
# $consoleHWND = [Console.Window]::MoveWindow($consoleHWND,75,0,600,600);
# $consoleHWND = [Console.Window]::MoveWindow($consoleHWND,-6,0,600,600);
}
function lll {
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms
$Screen = [System.Windows.Forms.Screen]::PrimaryScreen
$width = $Screen.WorkingArea.Width # .WorkingArea ignores the taskbar, .Bounds is whole screen
$height = $Screen.WorkingArea.Height
$w = $width/2 + 13
$h = $height + 8
$x = -7
$y = 0
Set-ConsolePosition $x $y $w $h
$MyBuffer = $Host.UI.RawUI.BufferSize
$MyWindow = $Host.UI.RawUI.WindowSize
$MyBuffer.Height = 9999
"`nWindowSize $($MyWindow.Width)x$($MyWindow.Height) (Buffer $($MyBuffer.Width)x$($MyBuffer.Height))"
"Position : Left:$x Top:$y Width:$w Height:$h`n"
