quickterm does not take full width #19

Closed piotrekfus91 closed 3 years ago

piotrekfus91 commented 3 years ago

OS: Manjaro 20.2 i3: 4.19 Laptop: Dell XPS 7590 Screen resolution: 3840x2160

When I start quickterm it does not take full length of the screen, it takes about 70%. My config goes as follows:

{
    "term": "alacritty",
    "history": "{$HOME}/.cache/i3/i3-quickterm.order",
    "ratio": 0.25,
    "pos": "top",
    "shells": {
        "shell": "{$SHELL}"
    }
}

Any hints?

@piotrekfus91 in your i3 config, remove the floating_maximum_size property if you have it as it will constrain the window width.

@piotrekfus91 Try launching Alacritty as a floating window. Is the same height as you experience with i3-quickterm?

The height is probably being set by by window.dimensions.lines in alacritty.yml. If you want a different height of window for i3-quickterm usage, call it as alacritty --option window.dimensions.lines=80 and see if you get a result like you want.

If so, this issue can be closed-- it's not an i3-quickterm bug.

@piotrekfus91 Your title doesn't agree with your description. The title says "full width", while the description says "full length". Are you refering to the horizontal or vertical dimension?

@ram02z thanks, it helped. Unfortunatelly I would prefer to have floating_maximum_size left as-is, but I didn't find any option to set it only for specific window. Still, it is a problem in i3, not in quickterm, so thanks for your answer! @markstos When I launch Alacritty as a floating window it has different size (it is small actually ;) ). You are right - I meant width of course (I'm polish, so sorry, length is for me obvious but it might be a false-friend, vertical size I would call height). Thanks guys!
