  1. You can define a new profile, and switch to the defined profile to change the window size. Edit -> Preferences -> Profiles.

    EDIT: You can also try using the --geometry flag, see here. Additonally, take a look at gconf-editor, you might find a way to configure it under "Apps".

  2. I just upgraded to Ubuntu 20.04, and the resize menu has been moved to a sub-menu, and for the life of me, I can not figure how to trigger the keyboard shortcuts.

    I now have the following aliases:

    alias 132x24 'resize -s 24 132'
alias 132x43 'resize -s 43 132'
alias 80x24 'resize -s 24 80'
alias 80x43 'resize -s 43 80'

    I subsequently switched to the Kubuntu desktop, and gnome-terminal works as it used to.
