This plugin allows to maximize/unmaximize the current window:

• Manually

  

• Or automatically:

  

No mapping by default, define your own.
e.g.

nmap gsz <Plug>(vzoom)

Use it to maximize/unmaximize your current window.
Even quicker, just leave the maximized window and it will get its initial size back.

You can enable automatic zoom with:

:VZoomAutoToggle

For disabling it, you can either use the command above or the <Plug>(vzoom) key mapping.

Copy the distributed files into Vim runtime directory which is usually ~/.vim/, or $HOME/vimfiles on Windows.
Or in a better way, use a vim plugin manager.

e.g with Vim-plug plus lazyloading:

Plug 'KabbAmine/vZoom.vim', {'on': ['<Plug>(vzoom)', 'VZoomAutoToggle']}

The plugin's configuration is stored in one global dictionnary g:vzoom.

To define/modify an option you can either:

let g:vzoom = {}
let g:vzoom.option1 = 'foo'
let g:vzoom.option2 = 0

Or:

let g:vzoom = {
			\ 'option1': 'foo',
			\ 'option2': 0
		\ }

N.B

• The plugin uses setwinvar() function to set back the initial size of the window, but unfortunately sometimes it can fail. So to prevent strange behavior, always set g:vzoom.equalise_windows to 1.
• For the same reason above, when using VZoomAutoToggle and disabling auto-zoom the windows are always resized equally regardless of the g:vzoom.equalise_windows value.

Thanks to Bram Moolenaar for creating the best piece of software in the world ❤️

Thanks to you if you're using vZoom.
