Reset terminal window size after screen change?

[Denis Haskin]

When I unplug my external monitor and OSX rearranges windows, frequently the iTerm2 windows will be resized to an unusable size.  Is there an easy way to reset them to their default sizes?  Terminal.app has this...

Thanks,

Does pressing the green button on the title bar do what you want? It
always works for me, but I keep my terminals full-screen.

No, that maximizes the window (as you say), which is not what I want.  Want it to return to initial size.  In Terminal.app this is in the menu as: Window > Return To Default Size

Cmd-opt-0 will do what you want, I think.

Bingo!  Where would I find that configured or documented?  It's weird that when I do it, the View menu is clearly activated, but there's nothing on the view menu that seems to correspond to that.

Thanks!

I can't find any documentation that lists all of the shortcut keys.

Here is how to see it in the menu:

Click view
Hold alt
see Restore Text and Session Size

Or

click help
type res into the search
hover the mouse over Restore Text and Session Size

Yeah, this is a dirty secret of Mac OS. If you hold option while looking at a menu, sometimes things will change. This is where developers stick things that they can't figure out where else to put, or would freak out beginners.

Is that it? I always thought it was where sadistic developers put commands when they specifically want to drive their users insane.  "I *know* I found that command in the menu yesterday, but it's not there today!"
