A script to resize windows to their vertical maximum
Authored by: mdouma46 on May 05, '05 06:09:28PM
"I don't really like the "Green Plus" for window maximization: it seems random and unpredictable, and is not available with a keyboard shortcut."
Um, can't you just do the following:

System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts

Under All Applications, click the + to add a new shortcut for Menu Title: "Zoom" (without the quotes), and a Keyboard Shortcut such as Command-Option-Z or whatever else you'd like.

Hope this helps....

That would simply give a keyboard shortcut for the "green plus", in the (relatively few) apps which have a "Zoom" menu item. Try hitting the green zoom button in a Terminal window and you'll see why I'd prefer a *vertical-only* maximize, as this script provides.
