[Feature request] Tilda stretched over whole screen (n.b. display != screen) #299

For reasons beyond my control, I have to use two displays with rather mediocre resolution.

At the moment I have two Tildas (bound to F1 and F2) running shared tmux new-session -t0 with two Vims inside. Tilda stretched over whole screen (i.e. two displays) would allow me to run vsplitted Vim with much smoother experience and reduced setup complexity.

$ xrandr -q:

Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2880 x 1024, maximum 16384 x 16384 VGA-2 connected primary 1280x1024+1600+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm VGA-1 connected 1600x900+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm

I guess we could add an option like 'Ignore Monitor boundaries' that would allow you to configure larger resolutions for tilda. Feel free to submit a pull request and I will review it.

As a workaround you could try to hack the config file. If I am not mistaken tilda just saves the pixel size in the configuration file. If you try to overwrite it manually with higher values and see if that works (I did not try). It will probably only work until you open the wizard the next time.
