Restore buffer on exit /b [Closed]

[atfon]

Edit: Please disregard.I had previously turned off the cursor with a terminal escape sequence. The powershell command works fine.

I have a script which changes the console screen height and width periodically with the mode con command. I'd like to reset it back to the defaults on exit /b. I can use this:

Code: Select all

mode con: cols=120 lines=30

If I do this, I lose the default buffer. Is there any way to restore the buffer?

I can use powershell:

Code: Select all

powershell -command "&{$w=(get-host).ui.rawui;$w.buffersize=@{width=120;height=9001};$w.windowsize=@{width=120;height=30};}"

However, I find that my cursor stops blinking.

The PowerShell command works flawlessly for me, Win11 Home.
// EDIT Didn't see your update

I tried to use an alternate screen buffer, resize it, and later turn back to the original buffer.

However, updating the size of the alternate buffer doesn't seem to be supported.

Thank you for testing the Terminal Escape Sequences with the buffer. I was just getting to that myself!
