Use case or problem
I use system-wide hotkeys to maximize (fill the screen, not a new fullscreen) windows on macOS by binding it to the standard Window > Zoom command in the menu bar. Window > Zoom item is present in pretty much all native apps on macOS:
- Safari: CleanShot 2024-01-06 at 09.49.20 · CleanShot Cloud
- Finder: CleanShot 2024-01-06 at 09.50.28 · CleanShot Cloud
- Things (third party app): CleanShot 2024-01-06 at 09.50.55 · CleanShot Cloud
Obsidian omits Window > Zoom in the menu bar, so I can’t Zoom (i.e. maximize) obsidian via the keyboard.
Proposed solution
Add the Zoom option to the menu bar under Window.
It’s defined here in the macOS Human Interface Guidelines:
Zoom: Toggles between a predefined size appropriate to the window’s content and the window size people set. Pressing the Option key changes this item to Zoom All.
Current workaround
Option+click the green zoom button in the Obsidian window itself to maximize it.
