As I increasingly try to work in a distraction-free mode, I find myself using applications with their windows** maximized. To make ViM** always open its window maximized, add this command to your vimrc file:
autocmd GUIEnter * simalt ~x
autocmd
is used to add a command to ViM that is triggered on a certain event. The event here is GUIenter
, which is the event of opening a ViM window. The *
represents the files on which to trigger the command, which is all files for our case. simalt ~x
is the Alt-Space + x
command, the command to trigger on the window open event. That is, Alt-Space
which shows the control menu of the window in Windows, followed by x
, which chooses the Maximize
option.
