My portable computer is my primary workstation. I either use an external, high resolution monitor or its built-in screen, depending on where I am. I often use also someone else's monitors, when I'm working remotely. This forces me to change the graphical Vim editor dimensions for every location where I happen to be. Though not complicated, it's annoying. That's why I wrote this script/Vim auto-command that does the job instead. Just define the desired editor columns and lines for a given resolution, and MacVim will open at that size every time that the same resolution is detected.
Features:
- User configurable: add as many output device resolutions and editor sizes as desired or needed
- MacVim and gVim compatible
- Works on OS X, Linux/Gnome, Linux/KDE, and Windows
- Unobtrusive; set it up once and forget about it
No more dragging the window corners to resize. No more :set columns=128. Just open Vim and get to work!

Unfortunately the developers or testers had only limited access to a Windows machine. Please let me know if you had issues using the URL in the next section.
Update 30.Sep.2014: a user reported bugs in Windows Vista - users are advised to use gVim (or equivalent) for Windows only on versions 7 and older (Window 8.1 is best at the time of this report).
