How to maximize window on startup (Windows)?

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

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

goneovim.exe --fullscreen

@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.

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

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.

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.

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?
