Subject: [PATCH] commands: add resize command to reset terminal scroll region
Date: Mon, 13 Apr 2026 11:56:44 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260413095657.1454950-1-a.fatoum@barebox.org> (raw)
Add a small command that resets the DECSTBM scroll region to the
full window. This is useful for rebooting after a curses installer has
restricted the scroll region for example.
Running "resize" then will give the shell the full terminal back.
