I do something similar myself:

% whatis D
fn D { acme -l $home/lib/acme/$* }

As far as screen real-estate goes I have a similar function which sets
up a base set of windows in rio:

% whatis W
fn W { . $home/lib/rio/$* }

lib/rio contains files created via wloc. These are really small
things, but speeds login considerably on my laptop, especially since I
use a couple of different monitors with different resolutions.

(I've also dealt with the sizing issue by getting used to smaller
fonts and buying bigger monitors. vera/unicode.12.font and
veramo/unicode.12.font work very well for me)

Cheers,
