Hard to claim MS is "just catching up" when it's significantly innovated on Windows mgmt while OSX still requires 3rd party for "maximize"

Or holding down the option key…
-
holding down the option key absolutely does not produce reliable "fill the screen". Try in Finder in Sierra.
-
I’m not sure what you’re experiencing because it does for me…
-
Aha. The previous "protipper" on Twitter told me alt. Option works. But clearly not very discoverable.
-
Confirmed via https://support.apple.com/kb/PH25079?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US …. Still baffled about how this is not default!
-
Yeah. They were pushing the full screen thing pretty heavily. There might be a default that you can set to switch the behaviour.
-
it seems like you can change the behavior of "double click title bar"

don’t you just Option-click the green window button…?? Either fills screen or fits window to content, whichever is appropriate?
-
"whichever is appropriate" is exactly the problem. I want "fill the screen" not "Apple knows best"
-
Fair enough, if that's your use case.

-
I feel the use case of "fill my screen" is not very niche. Windows and Linux has it. People DL 3rd party apps for it.
-
"Apple knows best" is just a silly default here.
-
Any particular apps? I can only speak for myself but it's not bothered me to date, e.g. Pixelmator fits to image etc
-
Finder, Safari
-
If "full screen" wasn't so obnoxious and didn't create a new workspace I'd like it better.

Windows needs a solid equivalent to Preview. Reader was decent but it seems to be discontinued after win 8.
-
for PDFs?
-
Preview is just so convenient to split, merge and export PDFs. I end up copying files to mac many times from windows.
-
ah fair enough. I mostly use Reader (Trusted Windows Store app) but it doesn't have those features.
