I really like editors running in full screen. So that they take up 100% of the available screen space. Not because I want to see more code, but because I don't want to see anything else that could distract me. With Spaces in OS X Leopard and MacVim I finally found a neat way that matches my workflow.

Here my three step plan for full satisfaction:

1. Configure spaces so that MacVim always starts on the same space that is otherwise unused
2. Put this into your ~/.vimrc:

   if has("gui_running")
     set fuoptions=maxvert,maxhorz
     au GUIEnter * set fullscreen
   endif
   

3. Quit and restart your MacVim :)

Now every time you start your MacVim it will skip to the configured space and display itself in fullscreen mode.
