Fields

AnsiQuery = 0

Sends a CSI 18t ANSI escape-sequence query and parses the ESC [ 8 ; height ; width t response. Works over SSH or any ANSI-compatible terminal. Use this as an explicit fallback when a native size query is unavailable or does not report the transport's size.

Polling = 1

Uses ioctl(TIOCGWINSZ) on Unix/macOS or the Console API on Windows. This is the default on supported local platforms because it is synchronous, immediate, and does not generate terminal query traffic.
