Hyper: How to change default windowSize on macOS isn't apparent/explained

[theBigDalt]

• [x] I am on the latest Hyper.app version

• [x] I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate

• OS version and name: macOS Sierra 10.12.2

• Hyper.app version: 1.1.0
• Link of a Gist with the contents of your .hyper.js: https://gist.github.com/dlduvio/cc2cbace5d10297c25c8042172daa67a
• Relevent information from devtools _(CMD+SHIFT+I on Mac OS, CTRL+SHIFT+I elsewhere)_: N/A
• The issue is reproducible in vanilla Hyper.app: Is Vanilla

Issue

This is a small issue, but how to change the default window size isn't readily apparent or explained, at least for macOS. For me on macOS, I had to put the windowSize variable and the accompanied value (without quotation marks) in a newly created winCfg: { }, after digging through Hyper's source on GitHub. My suggestion would be to put in an empty winCfg: { }, along with a comment explaining its purpose in the default .hyper.js as is done with 'environment variables' already.

Again, I'm not sure if this is an issue only on macOS, but it was a little bit frustrating nonetheless to need to dig through the source to figure out.

@dlduvio For me it's working on macOS Sierra without needing winCfg

Keep in mind these numbers mean pixels, not rows/columns, as explained here

This is not reproducible anymore. winCfg is not required for this. You only need to add the following:

windowSize: [570, 390],

Using the values [570, 390] will also make the size closer to the default size of the Terminal.app.

This issue can be closed. It seemed it was an issue with my setup specifically and was fixed in an update. I dont know why it wouldn’t recognize my windowSize parameters before, but has worked properly without a hitch since i reported the issue.

Thank you to the Zeist crew and all other contributors. I still use Hyper as my main terminal and its always been fantastic.
