You can also do :set fu! :set paste! Instead of nofu or nopaste.

Nice! I recently started using Vim for prose and was mentally writing (in preparation for actually writing) a plugin that would do just this. I couldn't think of any better way to do it either, other than what you've done, setting up splits to the left and right. You've added some stuff that I hadn't thought of that makes it even nicer.

This is something else I use:

  function TextEdit()
    set spell
    set formatoptions=1
    set linebreak
    set wrap
    set nolist
    nnoremap j gj
    nnoremap k gk
    vnoremap j gj
    vnoremap k gk
    set guifont=Monaco:h16
  endfunction
  
  if has('autocmd')
    au BufRead,BufNewFile *.txt call TextEdit()
    au BufRead,BufNewFile *.markdown call TextEdit()
  endif

It gets paragraphs wrapping at words and and lets you move up and down by visual lines rather than actual lines. The last bit applies the settings automatically when opening a .txt or .markdown file. It looks like your plugin already does this, but maybe it would be useful for someone who wants a partial solution.

I can never focus on something long enough that this would become important.

I wrote an xmonad layout manager that will make any application work like this: https://github.com/jrockway/dotfiles/blob/master/xmonad/lib/... It looks something like: http://jrock.us/almostfull.png

Awesome! I'll be using this. Have you submitted it for contrib?

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

cmd + return is the shortcut for fullscreen on MVim too.

Sumblime Text 2 has exactly this, very neat.

How does this compare to just having a desktop devoted to a single instance of vim?

Instead of using splits you could set a large foldcolumn combined with word wrapping. Unless you are actually using folding it will result in a large area of blank space on the left of the window.
