There isn't one. Sorry. I hope that's still worth $5
How do you know there isn't one? (And yes, knowing that is worth $5.00, just for my sanity) Adam Thorsen at 10:04 AM on Monday July 3rd, 2006 |

Hi Adam Thorsen at 10:04 AM on Monday July 3rd, 2006 |
Thanks for the response. Adam Thorsen at 10:05 AM on Monday July 3rd, 2006 |
You there? Adam Thorsen at 10:05 AM on Monday July 3rd, 2006 |
It would be listed in the Menu Bar with the other shortcuts, the only ones they list are CMD-M for minimize and CMD-W for closing a window. OS X has no standard for what the green 'Maximize' button does. It can scale a window or size it to fit the content inside it or who knows what, so in short, no shortcut for it.

Ok, thanks a lot. At least now I know. Adam Thorsen at 10:07 AM on Monday July 3rd, 2006 |
That's really frustrating. Adam Thorsen at 10:07 AM on Monday July 3rd, 2006 |
Sorry, what was the purpose for needing to know? Julian Kussman at 10:08 AM on Monday July 3rd, 2006 |
I just my mac a lot, and I like to have all the windows maximised, and just apple+tab in between different apps. Adam Thorsen at 10:09 AM on Monday July 3rd, 2006 |
It sucks to have to click to maximize every window, especially terminal Adam Thorsen at 10:09 AM on Monday July 3rd, 2006 |
Terminal always starts out way too small Adam Thorsen at 10:09 AM on Monday July 3rd, 2006 |
i think you can default that in the terminal settings Julian Kussman at 10:09 AM on Monday July 3rd, 2006 |
oh cool. I'll check that out.... Adam Thorsen at 10:10 AM on Monday July 3rd, 2006 |
sure enough Adam Thorsen at 10:11 AM on Monday July 3rd, 2006 |
So how do you want to settle this $5? Julian Kussman at 10:11 AM on Monday July 3rd, 2006 |
If i just click the "Use settings as defaults..." menu item after maximizeng the window it works. Adam Thorsen at 10:11 AM on Monday July 3rd, 2006 |
