How to maximize window on startup (Windows)? #509

Closed ashrasmun closed 7 months ago

ashrasmun commented 7 months ago

Hello,

I've checked https://github.com/akiyosi/goneovim/issues/76 and I wonder - if there's an analogous functionality available for Windows? I've tried invoking goneovim.exe --maximized and the option felt like it's ignored, or I misunderstand it. It should display the goneovim window like a browser after pressing F11, right?

Kind Regards :)

@ashrasmun Hi :) Your approach is correct. If this does not maximize, there are the following possibilities.

The maximization process is being overwritten by another resizing process in neovim's configuration file or plugin
The maximization process is being overwritten by a window manager software or other process.

Try the following command. This command launches plain Neovim at the maximum screen size.

goneovim.exe --maximized -u NONE

I've tried the command you've mentioned, but to no avail :( It's maximized, but I can still see the Windows bar on the bottom and the title bar.

I guess I'll just force it externally by changing window's settings via winapi.

@ashrasmun Oh, is the behavior you are expecting full-screening? If so, the following command can do it.

goneovim.exe --fullscreen

Works like a charm, thank you! I guess that white flashback is a bit of a nuissance, but it happens only once per invocation, so whatever. Is there an option to switch in and out of this mode when I'm in Nvim already?

Is there a way to make it remember the last window size at all?

akiyosi commented 7 months ago

@ashrasmun Use GonvimFullscreen command.

The window can be made full screen by executing :GonvimFullscreen or :GonvimFullscreen 1 . Also, by executing :GonvimFullscreen 0, the full screen can be exited.

@gerroon Add the following in your settings.toml. About settings.toml, See https://github.com/akiyosi/goneovim/wiki/Usage#configuration

# ...
RestoreWindowGeometry = true

Damn, there are so many great options there. I don't know how have I missed them. Thanks a lot again! Goneovim is the best! :)

@akiyosi thanks for the reply.

As far as I can tell the .toml setting you provided does not work on windows 11. It still starts small after a restarting of the app. Is there anything special that needs to be done? Or maybe the location of the setting is wrong.

Also I am using it with vanilla LazyVim, not sure if that might be doing anything else.

C:\Users\USER\.config\goneovim

EDIT:

It actually works, epic. There was another line with the same setting that was setting back to the default I think. No more struggling it with scaling it.
