Full screen by default

[darksavant]

Is there any way to make Sublime open in fullscreen by default? I’ve looked through the options but didn’t see an obvious way…

I don’t think so but I would also love this feature because my workflow is -> open editor -> switch to fullscreen.

I would also love to see this

At least in Windows 7 you can start ST2 with:

sublime_text.exe --command toggle_full_screen

Yeah, this argument works fine in OSX too (and in linux, i think), but it’s unusable, always run Sublime from command-line

Pls, add this option in preferences!

Sorry about necroing this thread but I am interested in opening up Sublime in full screen by default. Adding --command toggle_full_screen from the command line does work, but I like to launch apps from spotlight and don’t always have my terminal open. Is there no option for this? Any way to automatically run a certain command when Sublime opens?

I want too this feature

It’s not as simple as having a config option would be, but you can create a script to do this.

Go into /Applications/Sublime\ Text\ 2.app/Contents/MacOS and rename the ‘Sublime Text 2’ executable to anything else (I called it st2). Now create a new text file called ‘Sublime Text 2’ and paste the following into it

#!/bin/bash
/Applications/Sublime\ Text\ 2.app/Contents/MacOS/st2 --command toggle_full_screen

Save it and run chmod u+x Sublime\ Text\ 2.

Your dock shortcut and Spotlight will now start Sublime in full screen.

I know this is an old thread, but in case someone also need this, I made a package to start Sublime Text in fullscreen mode.
It’s available on Package Control and Github.

I’m using the current build of ST2 and unfortunately this package doesn’t work. You mentioned on GitHub last Sept that you would be updating it; just checking to see where you’re at…

(Just posted this question to GitHub, but thought I’d post here all the same. Sorry for double query. )

Is there any progress on this issue? The plugin is ok, but still annoying – it starts in non-fullscreen and after 1-2 sec it goes to fullscreen.

Much better to have an option in the ST, or the plugin which starts ST in Fullscreen from the beginning.

In ST3:

1. Open file
   \Sublime Text 3\Packages\User\Preferences.sublime-settings

2. Add line
   "remember_full_screen": true,

3. Enter Fullscreen mode
   F11

4. Close Sublime Text
   (without exiting fullscreen)

5. Open Sublime
   It will open in fullscreen

@devgoncalo’s solution only represents a partial solution. If you quit the app and the last open window was fullscreen, the new window is fullscreen, but if the app is already open and you open a new folder with subl, say, the new window is not fullscreened by default.

What are folks’ solutions for having sublime open fullscreen by default?
