Vscode: Support open on fullscreen when open vscode via CLI

[rohmanhm]

• VSCode Version: 1.10.2
• OS Version: macOS Sierra

Steps to Reproduce:

Hi, I need submit feature request.
I think if you have flag -f to directly open vscode on fullscreen mode it will be nice

Here's available CLI command on [email protected]

❯ code --help
Visual Studio Code 1.10.2

Usage: code [options] [paths...]

Options:
  -d, --diff                  Open a diff editor. Requires to pass two file paths as arguments.
  -g, --goto                  Open the file at path at the line and character (add :line[:character] to path).
  --locale <locale>           The locale to use (e.g. en-US or zh-TW).
  -n, --new-window            Force a new instance of Code.
  -p, --performance           Start with the 'Developer: Startup Performance' command enabled.
  -r, --reuse-window          Force opening a file or folder in the last active window.
  --user-data-dir <dir>       Specifies the directory that user data is kept in, useful when running as root.
  --verbose                   Print verbose output (implies --wait).

No one mentioned but while -f doesn't get implemented, there's 2 settings that may help you to achieve what you want:

Set "window.restoreFullscreen": true and "window.newWindowDimensions": "fullscreen" and if you exit VSCode in fullscreen it will always open in fullscreen, and also new windows will follow it.

Hope it helps.

And "window.newWindowDimensions": "maximized" 👍

It's case sensitive my man.
window.newWindow

@fleps still showing that it is an Unknown configuration setting.

I use this on OSX, hope it will be helpful. Just replace the command code with codef.

#!bin/sh
codef() {
  code $* && sleep 0.5 && /usr/bin/osascript -e \
    'tell application "Visual Studio Code"
      activate
      tell application "System Events"
          keystroke "f" using {control down, command down}
      end tell
    end tell'
}
