Command-Option-M :Minimize all windows of the active application to the Dock.Command-M :Minimize the active window to the Dock.Sorry I made a mistake about minimizing window. Other applications like Slate and Moom always use the accessiblity API. Telling the application to change the bounds of a window is faster but it doesn't work with all applications. When you tell System Events to change the position and size through the accessibility API, there is a noticeable delay between when the position and the size are changed.

Set bounds of window 1 to Ĭlick (button 1 of window 1 where subrole is 'AXZoomButton') Tell application (path to frontmost application as text) Tell application 'Finder' to set b to bounds of window of desktop I have used FastScripts to assign a shortcut to this script: try Or add a line like this to ~/.slate with Slate: bind m:cmd shift move screenOriginX screenOriginY screenSizeX screenSizeY If you want the shortcut to always maximize a window to fill a screen, you can use for example Spectacle:

If you find an application that has full screen and isn't covered by the above shortcuts, add the menu item as above for that Application and again assign to the same short-cut key and all should be good.Assign a shortcut for the Zoom menu item (or whatever it's called in your locale) from System Preferences: Lastly click on the + icon again, this time typing:Īgain, assign the same key combination of Command+Control+FĪs you rightly said, applications like iTerm use this menu option, rather than Enter/Exit Full screen, but assigning to the same key makes it somewhat universal. Now you need to assign it a keyboard shortcut, I chose Command+Control+F because it's the same as the general default that correctly mentionedĬlick “Add” and then click on the + icon again, this time typing:Ĭhoose the same keyboard shortcut as you chose before which in effect creates a toggle, and click onto “Add” again (This is the label as shown in the menu of the application) “Keyboard Shortcuts” tab and choose ‘Application Shortcuts’ from theĬlick on the + icon to add a new keyboard shortcutįor all applications and type the following exactly:

Open System Preferences and click on the”Keyboard” icon Select the I did the following and chose CMD+CTRL+F as a shortcut and worked on OSx 10.8 and upwards. The details described below though can still be helpful if you have applications that are not honoring the Fn+F shortcut or you want to change it to something else, like CMD+CTRL+F 2022 Update: The default shortcut in MacOS (I believe since MacOS 11 'Big Sur') is now Fn+F which 'out of the box' seems to work for most applications (at least on my MacBook / Apple Keyboard).
