I think the mac keyboard shortcut should be

Command+Shift+M

we can all press 2 buttons with one hand? right…

It would be a nice complement
Or you could always use control or ‘alt’
instead of Shift

I got my macbook a couple of weeks ago, and I’ve kinda struggled to adapt to the quirkiness of OSX.

This article is the single thing which has made a huge difference to my MacBooks usability though.
Thanks so much for taking time to share the script :-)

MisterFister (or any compassionate soul who can explain his elegant way):

For those of us not used to “tell” our Mac’s anything (but “thanks!”), could we trouble you to please offer a more step-by-step description for the faint-of-geek?

Thanks (Sooo) much

Hi guys,
here’s the more elegant way, as I think:

tell application “System Events”
set frontmostApplication to name of the first process whose frontmost is true
end tell

tell application frontmostApplication

if zoomed of window 1 is false then
set zoomed of window 1 to true

else if zoomed of window 1 is true then
set zoomed of window 1 to false
end if

end tell
