Hi,
I'm running Ubuntu 6.10 on a PowerBook 4 under GNOME. Is there any
command I can put inn my .gvimrc that will maximize the window at
startup? I tried:
:autocmd GUIEnter * simalt <F10>
But simalt does not work in Linux.
I may not know much about GUIs but ever one I read so far has an API
call that maximizes the window. So, what's the best way to do this?
The portable way to maximize gvim at startup (well, with maybe at times a
one-character-cell rounding error in the size of the Vim screen) is
if has("gui_running")
set lines=9999 columns=9999
endif
The above (which is in my .vimrc) used to work for me on Windows, and still
works for me now that I'm on SuSE Linux.
Like the 'guifont' setting (and maybe others), 'lines' and 'columns', when set
in the vimrc, are "remembered" by gvim, and applied at GUI startup.
Best regards,
Tony.
