Quake Mode - Allow Horizontal resizing

[amithegde]

Description of the new feature/enhancement

Currently, the Quake Mode Terminal takes up whole width of the screen and when using it on a wide monitor, this can get cumbersome to use it. Please allow horizontal resizing and allow docking it at the center horizontally - similar to the way ConEmu works.

Worth mentioning another issue already logged here #11125 which causes additional inconvenience while using wide monitor.

You know, I had half a mind to say "You should probably just use globalSummon and position the window", and mark this up as some combination with #9992. Then you mentioned

similar to the way ConEmu works.

So if ConEmu can do it, then we should too.

Would be awesome to able to have the option to have Quake mode while retaining the terminal width set by the number of columns.

I just read Windows Terminal had implemented Quake mode. 3 mins later ConEmu was uninstalled and Windows Terminal installed (again). A bit of a bummer to see my terminal taking up the full width of my 49" monitor... Temporarily I can live with a left padding of 1280px, as I see this feature is at least seriously considered.

I found a workaround!

We can Ctrl+Shift+P and choose Toggle Focus Mode and then use Fancy Zone to define a zone and drag the terminal into the zone.

But again, I wish there was native support though👍

Variable width is a must on an ultra-wide monitor. One terminal stretched across 34 inches is no bueno.

workaround continues:
While using fancy zones, it allows overriding windows default docking keyboard shortcut Win+Arrow and we can use these key combinations to dock terminal as well
