Dimitar,

Sorry, the only way to use this feature is to use <F11> key.  I agree
it is kind of rude.  I am looking into how to make it full screen with
a normal vim command.  Then you will be able to map to any arbitrary
keys.

I think some plugins might map <F11> key for you.  So you can do a
find-grep in your vimfiles directory and see who is taking this key.

Stay tuned, I will make the full screen not so intrusive in the near future.

Thanks for trying out this tool.

The Cream project also provides binaries for windows:

There are also some other binaries for windows out there.

I think on Windows :simalt ~x should do it.
