In the default Terminal app the current width and height of the window are always displayed in the title bar, whereas in iTerm2 they're only displayed for a few moments when resizing.
How can I change it so that they're always visible in iTerm2 too?
Can't find the correct variable for the title. But if you go to iTerm2-> Preferences -> Profiles -> Session -> Configure Session, you can create a custom menu component with title as \(rows) x \(columns) and it will show the width. I know it's not the perfect solution but will do your job.
Make sure your status bar enabled is checked.

1You were on the right track, going to
iTerm2 -> Preferences -> Profiles -> General -> Nameand changing the name to\(columns) x \(rows)does the job. – noibe Aug 20 '19 at 12:02 -
Actually now I have the opposite problem, when I resize the terminal dimensions are displayed twice. Do you know how to not to show the dimensions when resizing? – noibe Aug 20 '19 at 12:08

I could not find an easy way to do this except write a custom script to change the behavior of the windows resizing. I will try this later and update here if I succeed. – Anshul Choudhary Aug 20 '19 at 16:55
