Window won't maximize always by shortcut
Status:
RESOLVED: INVALID

Description Alexandra 2015-03-09 12:02:32 CET
I use a shortcut to "fill" or "maximize" a window. Usually it's ALT+F10.

Though after tiling to the left/right/top/bottom it's no longer possible to maximize the window by the shortcut command.

Interestingly it still works when it's tiled to the quarters.
So is this maximize function only proofing whether the window is filled along one axis?

Vertical or horizontal tiling is achieved via partial maximization, you cannot "fill" from there.

Please provide a detailed step by step reproducer.

fill and maximize are two different things.
Comment 3 Alexandra 2015-03-10 21:09:08 CET
Where can I set the shortcut to maximize a window then?
In the window settings manager there's only an option to "fill" a window.

I really don't see the difference between "filling" and maximizing actually.
Both maximize a window, the difference seems to be:
* for filling exists a shortcut for maximizing none
* filling is not useable when having a window tiled

Filling means the window wil lexapnd until it reaches other windows border. It's not a state in itself as other windows may move/disappear etc. Filling may end up being the same size as maximized, but it's because no toher window will stop the window from expanding until it reaches the limits of the available work area.

Maximization, on the opposite, is a state which is revertable, you can maximize a window (either vertically, horizontally, or both) and revert back to the original size.

Note that Alt-F10 is maximize by default and it works fine with tiled windows here.

Sorry! You are right. When I reseted all my shortcuts and tested again everything is working now. Strange! I mark it as invalid. Thanks.
