Doesn't really work for me, but there is already an issue on GitHub for this. However, I don't really see the added value if you are using MacVim in the first place.

I wrote a color scheme/plugin to do something similar a while back (I think it's darkroom.vim on vim.org). Never really developed it fully. Ratings indicate people were underwhelmed :) Looks like this guy may have given the idea a much better treatment.

The article mentions the same is possible in MacVim, but not how to do it. Any pointers?

Also curious about this. Entering fullscreen used to do it correctly, but in the latest MacVim the document spans 100%, even if you have "Prefer native fullscreen support" unchecked.

I wrote an xmonad layout manager that will make any application work like this:

It looks something like:

How does this stand up when there are split windows? Is this mostly for single window/terminal use?

It appears to be implemented using split windows, so the results if you try and use split windows normally are somewhat surprising. (It also doesn't work well with my settings as it shows a statusbar on some of these split windows acting as padding, so the effect is ruined slightly.)

It is implemented using splits, so you're right: if you're already using split windows then your results will be a bit off. :)

Regarding your settings, would you mind filing a bug report with some detail? I'm happy to try to fix things if there's a bug: https://github.com/mikewest/vimroom/issues

In vimrc:

    if has('gui_macvim')
      set fuoptions=background:Normal
    endif

Snapshot 61 added maxhorz and maxvert to fullscreen options by default. You have to set fuoptions yourself if you want something different. See my other comment for what I do.

If you just want full-screen, it's ":set fullscreen" on MacVim, or ":set fu" for short.

awesome.

:set nofu to get back

My pet peeve with vim is the :set paste, :set nopaste things why not have :set paste false....

Could you please upload it to vim.org for posterity? http://www.vim.org/scripts/index.php

This'll get mirrored to the vimscripts github account and then let us install it via the Vundle vim package manager.

Thanks for the cool plugin!
