Hello,

I am using Emacs 22.1.1 on x86_64-suse-linux-gnu.  I typically start Emacs using the "emacs" command on the command line.  I would like Emacs to default to fullscreen mode each time I start a new session.  I see that I could use the -fs option each time I start Emacs.  Is there any way to make -fs the default?  Alternatively, is there any way to reassign the "emacs -fs" command so that all I have to type in is "emacs" instead of "emacs -fs"?

Thank you.

There are several ways:

Here's my toggle-fullscreen function (from Emacswiki):

;Full screen toggle
;courtesy of http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/FullScreen
(defun toggle-fullscreen ()
  "Toggle between fullscreen and partial screen display on X11;
courtesy of http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/FullScreen"
  (interactive)
  (x-send-client-message nil 0 nil "_NET_WM_STATE" 32
	    		 '(2 "_NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN" 0)))

Put that in your .emacs and call it at the end.

Use a shell alias

alias emacs='emacs -fs'
