OSX - How to maximize window using keyboard shortcut

By default, OSX does not comes with a shortcut, though there's a function for it. To make use of it, we'll need to assign a keyboard shortcut key to maximize or un-maximize window.








Here's how to do it :

1. Open the "System Preferences"
2. Under the "Hardware" section, click on "Keyboard"
3. Next, click on "Keyboard Shortcuts" then "Application Shortcuts" (on the left hand box)
4. Add a shortcut key by clicking on "+" symbol, on the bottom of the right hand box
5. At the next dialog box, choose "All Applications" for "Application:"
6. In the "Menu Title :" column, type in "Zoom"
7. Click on the next column, "Keyboard Shortcut:", then press your preferred keyboard shortcut.
   E.g. Control + Option + Command + m (you didn't read wrongly, is 4 keys there :p)
   
   *** Avoid popular shortcut key, e.g. Command + v

Now, open an application and try the new keyboard shortcut key. Press the first time for maximized and the second time to return the previous size.

Nemaste !!!
