How do I open gnome-terminal in a maximized window by default?

Question

I am using Ubuntu 11.04. When I launch gnome-terminal, how do I make it open in a maximized window by default?

Currently it's only taking part of the screen and I always have to maximise the window.

Answer 1

There is a command line option:

gnome-terminal --maximize

Also,

gnome-terminal --full-screen

If you want to modify a shortcut, you should be able to right-click the shortcut and select Properties, then add the option there.
