when toggle format what by license comment
Aug 20 at 8:21 comment added Arthur Khazbulatov @PiyushSoni, Some apps' windows (like Finder, Safari, Preview) have their own preferred sizes to zoom to. If you want to maximize any window, including those stubborn ones: Hold the Option key and double click any of the window's corners (when you hover over a corner, the pointer should become a diagonal arrow). Double-clicking a window's side or corner makes the window expand as far as possible in that direction, and holding Option makes it do so in the opposite direction, too.

Jul 28, 2021 at 3:31 comment added Piyush Soni Sorry, it's already set to 'zoom' for me and enabled, but if I do the same for Finder (and some other windows), it just becomes 'slightly' bigger and double clicking again comes back to a smaller size - I don't know what exactly it is 'zooming' to when there's so much more space! Macs are funny.
