Sep 8, 2022 at 11:45 comment added Ken It does work for me, but is there no way to do this without a mouse; just using keybinds?
Aug 22, 2017 at 15:04 comment added zero298 Thank you for the summary section. I was wondering why some windows reacted differently for to ⌥ vs ⇧ + ⌥.

Aug 10, 2016 at 15:14 comment added Serhii Sokolenko @CoDEmanX, I can confirm that Safari's behaviour is different from other windows, and most probably it's app related issue as there are similar complaints to Safari's window size, e.g. discussions.apple.com/message/28446353
Aug 10, 2016 at 7:50 comment added CodeManX I tried to maximize Finder and Safari under Yosemite with no luck. The only thing that worked was the hotkey registered by RightZoom. It did not change the behavior of Alt, Cmd or Ctrl clicking the green button whatsoever. If I was using OS X on a regular basis, this would be outrageous. Fortunately I'm not.
Aug 10, 2016 at 7:44 comment added Serhii Sokolenko @CoDEmanX, I've also noted that it does not work for some apps in certain cases, sometimes I should resize the window and then the described method works again with it... not sure if it's OSX or app related issue, but most of the time it works fine.
Aug 9, 2016 at 10:57 comment added CodeManX No, it does not work. It maximizes the window vertically, but not horizontally. What a screwed up OS...

Added one more link proving correctness of my answer
Jun 16, 2015 at 15:10 comment added Serhii Sokolenko @Matteo I wonder if you have even tried to do this, see my update with proofs ;-) Or, if it does not work for you, can you give some info about your OS X version and hardware?
