Kitty: Starting in fullscreen mode

[promisedlandt]

Hello,

is there a configuration option to start kitty in fullscreen mode? remember_window_size yes starts in the fullscreen size, but the window is not in fullscreen state.

Also, remember_window_size yes is not great for when you change resolutions (e.g. notebook built-in display and external display), since what is fullscreen size for one resolution isn't for another.

Thank you very much. I thought it was only missing documentation :)

Note that the name of the command line option is changing to --start-as to allow for starting kitty maximized/minimized as well

Is there a way to have kitty start in fullscreen mode right away when I run the application on macOS?
Context: my current workflow is terrible. I start kitty, and then run kitty --start-as=fullscreen to enter fullscreen mode (or use a keyboard shortcut). It would be much better if it could start in fullscreen right away.

Thank you! I sent you a few bucks to support building the best terminal emulator yet. Keep up the good job!
