Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the command-line argument handling and the startup window initialization, then determine how maximized/restored state and width/height are currently represented. Done means documented command-line options reliably set the requested initial window state and dimensions when launching Notepad++.

Description

command line

Could you add command line options for controlling the size of a Notepad++ window when it is started, such as specifying whether it starts maximized or restored, or what the width and height of the window will be?
