gvim window size on Windows
meino....@gmx.de
Hi,
at work I am using gvim on Windows.
Is it possible to instruct gvim to open in full size
(whole screen) instead of a quarter of the screen size???
I am tired of clicking the title bar each time I start
gvim...
Thank you very much for any help in advance! :)
Have a nice week!
Best regards,
mcc

Ancient tip that's been done to death, no?
Set your rows/cols to 9999 or something huge, should max out to the actual screen dimensions. Or there's the simalt trick to maXimise it, as if you typed alt-space/x.
Either one worx.

If you are opening gvim from shortcut then right click on the shortcut
and click on properties and then in Run field select Maximized (in
drop down menu). I hope this solves your purpose.

The simalt trick is locale-dependent, since the key for Maximize is not
X in every menu language. In addition, it is win32-only (if someday you
migrate to Linux it will stop working). OTOH,
:set lines=999 columns=999
(in your gvimrc, or at the GUIEnter event, or bracketed by :if
has('gui_running') in your vimrc) should work on all systems and
languages. It should appear _after_ you set the 'guifont', since
changing the font may change the size of the character cell.
Best regards,
Tony.

That would be:
" maximize Vim window
autocmd GUIEnter * simalt ~x
...in your _vimrc or _gvimrc
