Beschreibung

Current behavior

Currently, the --size command uses the font of the default profile to calculate window size, which results in a different size when opening another profile with a different font setting.

Proposed change

Add a new Default launch size field to profile settings. If only one profile is requested at launch, use the size from the new field (--size overrides it) with the font settings of the specified profile. If multiple profiles is requested, use the current behavior.

Why do I need this feature

This is important for my workflow as I need to open an instance with many small cells instead of a few big cells. Changing from the settings page is slow and ruins the default settings.

Research-Richtung
Investigate the current implementation of the size flag and how it uses the default profile's font to calculate window size. Identify where the initial rows and columns are set, likely in TerminalSettingsModel or TerminalApp. Propose adding a new 'Default launch size' field to profile settings, allowing per profile override. When a single profile is launched, use its font and the new field (overridden by size). For multiple profiles, keep current behavior. Look at existing code for profile settings UI and window size logic.
