Vi only show 16 lines, how to show full screen?

Solution 1:

  • You may try resizing your terminal to force vim to recalculate its size;
  • You may try quitting your vim session, typing reset and restarting vim;
  • Inside vim you may try something like: :set lines=34

Solution 2:

Use the following commands to enable the full screen:

export TERM=xterm
stty rows 36 cols 150

Solution 3:

I had the same issue in a docker container, I did that:

export set LINES=58

Solution 4:

reopen your vim session after entering "resize" command in your linux terminal. It worked for me.
