Terminal.app's window size always fit the rows and columns of its content, which make it impossible to maximize the window (always leaving a gap).

I know iterm.app has an option regarding this. Can I change this behavior in terminal.app too?

    After your edit - do you actually mean fullscreen, or maximised? Dragging would imply maximised. Double-clicking the corner when the cursor changes to a double arrow should maximise as far as the window will go. There will always be a small gap at the bottom, reserved for activating the Dock.

  • @Tets I hide my dock, it's an issue specific to terminal, other apps like chrome don't behave like this. AFAIK iterm and emacs also have this behavior, more like a feature. but you can turn them off (superuser.com/questions/581889 stackoverflow.com/questions/27758800), I want to know if it

  • It resizes in increments of character rows and columns, not arbitrary pixels. Mar 1, 2022 at 0:22

Terminal.app resizes in (character) rows and columns, not in pixels. There is (at least up to and including macOS Monterey) no option to change this.
