A simple plugin to toggle zoom of current window within the current tab.

This is heavily inspired from tmux's zoom pane feature.

Use your favorite plugin manager to install this plugin (recommended).

git clone https://github.com/dhruvasagar/vim-zoom.git ~/.vim/bundle/vim-zoom

If however you don't use a plugin manager such as pathogen, vundle, neobundle, vim-plug then you can copy all files within this repository directly within your ~/.vim folder. (not recommended)

Simply use the provided mapping <C-W>m to toggle zoom in and out for the current window

NOTE: In an attempt to keep this plugin as lean as possible, it avoids having to deal with special buffers created by plugins that aren't backed by actual files. This is a trade-off we've made consiously and helps us keep our plugin less than 100 lines of code.

If that doesn't work for you and for other more advanced use cases you may want to consider alternate plugins such as goyo.vim

VIM Zoom provides zoom#statusline() API to be used for adding g:zoom#statustext value to your statusline while your window is zoomed. g:zoom#statustext defaults to value 'zoomed'. You may add this to your statusline like this :

set statusline+=%{zoom#statusline()}

If you're using some complex statusline plugin, you may need to refer to its documentation to figure out how to add this to your statusline.

-- Set lualine options
sections = {
-- left
lualine_a = { 'mode' },
lualine_b = { 'branch', 'diff', 'diagnostic' },
lualine_c = { 'filename' },
-- right
lualine_x = { "vim.fn['zoom#statusline']()", 'encoding', 'fileformat', 'filetype' },
lualine_y = { 'progress' },
lualine_z = { 'location' }
})

Contributions of configurations for other statusline plugins are appreciated.
