maximize window

[daveye]

I know that if you use the command m it will minimize a window. The question I have is how do you maximize it with a shortcut key? I have searched for a while now but there doesn’t seen to be an answer.

Soon you'll leave your Windows ways and realise how maximising wastes so much space...there really is no point in maximising, and the OSX way, drag and drop works awesomely

I think I need to explain myself clearer. When I have a window up on the desktop, it may not be maximized but its just on the desktop. When I use the command m it puts the window in the dock. Is there a way using a shortcut key to bring it back from the dock without actually dragging it and dropping it?

Thanks

I suggest hiding (command-H) instead of minimizing. Takes no dock space, and it'll show again when you switch to the application via any means, including command-tab.

but IS there a way to maximize? there is a point in it when you keep certain windows at smaller sizes on the desktop [bc you need to see them in that size next to each other]. when you open another window, it opens to the size of the last one. it would be nice to be able to maximize it without having to resize the window. does windows do this? i've never had a pc.

OSx does not have a command to maximize window.
