Investigate SIGWINCH handler about 123elf HOT 4 OPEN

Just discovered built-in terminal command xdotool to get full screen when launching 123

xdotool getactivewindow windowsize --sync 125% 125%

'man xdotool', and 'xdotool help' explain this tool

from 123elf.

To get full-screen across most terminals, good argument here for packaging distro-agnostic WmCtrl as dependency with .deb

Temp fix can define Alias script in .bashrc for fullscreen, and also pass a worksheet name to Lotus 1-2-3

'# Temp alias script in .bashrc for multiple commands'

alias lotus() {

wmctrl -r~ -b toggle,maximized_vert,maximized_horz
'# wmctrl [options] will vary. "-r~" was my active PopOs terminal window, add,fullscreen is another option for -b, $ man wmctrl'

123 -w ~/Desktop/wksht.wk3
'# -w argument to load file specific to 123 at startup,$ man 123'
}

Is this possible to do? It would make use of 123 especially on laptops a lot friendlier. I took a gander at what is available, and sadly my reverse engineering skills are not up to the task.

My above reference to xdotool relies on the X-Window legacy of most Linux distributions, gradually being replaced by Wayland windowing system.

With a recent Gnome merge request to drop support for X11 entirely, many Linux distros could go to Wayland exclusively, breaking xdotool. A different way to automate full screen from the linux terminal will be needed.
