Hi.
I'm a great fan of vim and this is the best list!
I'm programming java and use konqueror as an explorer. I have set konqueror to
open java files with gvim. That's cool.
Now I want to set the size of the window that gvim starts in.
The default seems to be 80X25.
How can I change that.
Can I pass some args to gvim on invocation?
Thanks.
Kind regards.

If you try to set these options to higher values than fit onscreen, Vim will
adjust them down until they do. This means that:
a) ":set lines=9999 columns=9999" will maximize gvim;
b) since different fonts can have different sizes, you should set 'guifont'
first, and 'lines' and 'columns' afterwards.
Note 1: Some console terminals can have their lines x columns geometry
changed; others not, but I suppose you wouldn't want to set the same values in
gvim and in console vim. You can either:
1) set 'lines' and 'columns' in your gvimrc, so console Vim won't see those
lines;
2) bracket them by if has("gui_running") ... endif so that console Vim won't
execute them;
or even:
3)
if has("gui_running")
" settings for gvim
elseif &term =~ 'xterm' || term =~ '^vt\d\d\d'
" settings for xterm and vtnnn
elseif &term == 'win32'
" settings for the Dos Box in Windows
" else do nothing
endif
Note 2: If you set those options in a vimrc, gvim will "remember" them until
it displays the GUI.
Best regards,
Tony.
