Visual Studio Code – Resize Terminal Console App with C# in Visual Studio (MacOSX)

I am trying to fullscreen my C# Visual studio console app, but to no success.

I tried a couple of methods but I am still new to creating console applications in Visual Studio, and nothing really worked. All I need is some C# code to get my terminal app into fullscreen on startup. I am on MacOSX, any help would be appreciated.

    I had the same problem a while ago, I solved it using the "System.Runtime.InteropServices" APIs, do something like:

    using System;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

class Program
{
     [DllImport("libc.dylib", EntryPoint = "system")]
     private static extern int System(string exec);

     static void Main()
     {
         const string command = "osascript -e 'tell application "Terminal" to set bounds of front window to {0, 0, 1920, 1080}'";
         System(string.Format(command, Console.WindowWidth, Console.WindowHeight));

         Console.WriteLine("Full screen console application!");
         Console.ReadLine();
     }
}

    Following something along those lines should solve your problem.

    You can just use old fashioned escape commands I suppose. Here is a basic example:

    using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!");

[DllImport("libc")]
static extern int system(string exec);


system(@"printf 'e[8;50;100t'"); //adjust the 50 and 100t for whatever size you are wanting.
system(@"printf 'e[3;0;0t'"); // moves terminal to top left

while (true)
{
    var someText = Console.ReadLine();
    Console.WriteLine(someText);
}

    Here is a video showing the size movements
