I have this in my vimrc file: diff to open with horizontal splits. if &diff au VimEnter * windo wincmd K if has("gui_running") let &columns = &columns + &foldcolumn endif endif You could put whatever you want inside the test for diff mode. OTOH, I do not know how to maximize the window from a script, except when using W32. (Kluge: maximize, note the setting of 'lines' and 'columns', and then set to those values.) > gvim 7 in windows part: [snip] Maybe someone else can answer this. HTH --Benji Fisher
