-geometry
.-geometry
setting is ignored if it is overwritten by the terminal size in Putty.Actually the most convenient form to specify the size of the Putty window is by using the Putty configuration. You can have different default settings by giving them with the -load
option on the commandline. See below.
Following settings can be changed which affect the size of the resulting Window:
Font
(Category :: Window :: Fonts) by using another sizeColumns
and Rows
(Category :: Window)If you only need a single setting, do it as follows:
Session
Default Settings
Load
Then edit the above settings to your needs. Afterwards do not forget to save it via:
Session
Default Settings
(or, for additional settings as explained below, enter the name of the configuration you want to save in the textbox above Default Settings
)Save
Now if you open Putty the next time, enter the Host Name
and click Open
the altered Default Setting
will be loaded and give your Screen the chosen size.
By copying this Default Setting
to some small/medium/large setting, you can even have different defaults active when loading Putty. All you have to do is to leave blank the Host Name
in these additional defaults. Then start it as follows, from shortcuts or commandline:
putty -load small HOST
putty -load medium HOST
putty -load large HOST
Leave HOST
away if you want to enter it into Putty. (If you leave away the -load XXX
then Putty will use Default Settings
).
If you save some configuration with a Host Name
preset, and saved under HOST1
for example,
you can start this session directly from commandline by loading this configuration:
putty -load HOST1
You can re-use this saved session as a template and override the Host Name
as well from commandline, as follows
putty -load HOST1 another.host.example.com
HTH
PS: Sometimes Putty is just a bit too straight forward to be easily understood ;)
