• Toggle maximizing the current window without any ugly borders.
• Has builtin integration for the following plugins:
  • aerial.nvim
  • nvim-dap-ui
  • nvim-tree.lua

• Neovim >= 0.8.0 (use a tagged version for older Neovim versions)

Install with your favourite plugin manager and run the setup function.

use {
  'declancm/maximize.nvim',
  config = function() require('maximize').setup() end
}

use {
  'declancm/maximize.nvim',
  config = true
}

• Toggle maximizing the current window:

  :Maximize

• Toggle maximizing the current window:

  require('maximize').toggle()

• Maximize the current window:

  require('maximize').maximize()

• Restore windows:

  require('maximize').restore()

A settings table can be passed into the setup function for custom options.

{
  plugins = {
    aerial = { enable = true }, -- enable aerial.nvim integration
    dapui = { enable = true },  -- enable nvim-dap-ui integration
    tree = { enable = true },   -- enable nvim-tree.lua integration
  }
}

The following user events are triggered:

• WindowMaximizeStart: before maximizing
• WindowRestoreEnd: after restoring

Use the variable vim.t.maximized to check whether the tab has a maximized window.

local function maximize_status()
  return vim.t.maximized and '   ' or ''
end

require('lualine').setup {
  sections = {
    lualine_c = { maximize_status }
  }
}

-- ~/.config/nvim/lua/winbar.lua
local M = {}

M.maximize_status = function()
  return vim.t.maximized and '   ' or ''
end

return M

-- ~/.config/nvim/init.lua
vim.o.winbar = "%{%v:lua.require('winbar').maximize_status()%}"
