Automatically resize the active window to maximum height

Question

I know that it is possible: I googled it some time ago, but now I can't find the solution.

What do I need add to .vimrc to resize my current active window in full height automatically after window changing?

I remember also watching a screen cast where the user would resize the inactive windows to 5 lines, to keep the context. — nobe4, Apr 15, 2016 at 11:43

You can do it with an auto command, filtering the WinEnter event:

autocmd WinEnter * resize

resize without argument expand the height to max.

If I understand what you mean by window, this should do it.

set winheight=999
set winminheight=0

See
