maximize

Function	Expected argument	Default keybinding
maximize	N/A	N/A

The maximize function allows a window to expand and take up the full size of the window area.

If a the function is triggered a second time then the window should normally revert to its original position. Note that this may not be the case for windows that have size hints that probhibits them from resizing to the size of the window area.

If a client is tiled at the time when this is triggered then it will become floating. Likewise it is expected that the window goes back to being tiled if the function is triggered a second time.

External commands:

$ duskc run_command maximize  # maximize a window to take up the full window area
