Ack - Megazoomer requires SIMBL and I've been burned by that in the past. The Wikipedia page says the problems are in the past but I'd still be hesitant to install it. I had some kind of app that dimmed the menu bar on command and had to install SIMBL in order to get it to work, which ended up being a bit of a nightmare after a few OS X updates.

Yeah, there's no way I'm touching SIMBL. I crave fullscreen Terminal.app

  I've been using it for a year and not had any problems (but only with this one plugin). Could it be that there are plugins out there that are specifically crap? I regularly flip between full screen Emacs.app (with the elisp below) and then have a fullscreen, tabbed Terminal.app. Throw in Freedom.app and it's like canned productivity. (defun mac-toggle-max-window () (interactive) (set-frame-parameter nil 'fullscreen (if (frame-parameter nil 'fullscreen) nil 'fullboth))) (global-set-key [?\A-f] 'mac-toggle-max-window)

    This function doesn't work for me. :-( I use Emacs.app compiled from CVS (maybe a week ago). Anything I need to get this working?

      You might need this: (setq mac-command-modifier 'alt) My full ~/.emacs is here: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/364670/wheels.emacs http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/364670/wheels.emacs

        I use function by M-x, not a hotkey. ;-) So it's definitely not a problem. Looks like this happens because I've switched to Cocoa version of Emacs.

      I've been bitten by that (loved my fullscreen emacs). It only worked in the carbon version; CVS now uses cocoa as far as I know.

  Granted it hasn't been updated in a while, but I found iTerm's full-screen mode quite workable. http://iterm.sourceforge.net http://iterm.sourceforge.net

  I use MacTelnet instead of Terminal.app, and it does full screen with either text zoom or resize.
