Comments on: OS X Productivity Tip : Keyboard Shortcut for Zoom http://pathfindersoftware.com/2008/03/os-x-productivi/ The Fastest Way to Launch Successful Software Thu, 19 Jan 2012 16:36:03 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Josh Kline http://pathfindersoftware.com/2008/03/os-x-productivi/#comment-10408 Josh Kline Thu, 28 Apr 2011 18:15:04 +0000 http://www.pathf.com/blogs/?p=58#comment-10408 I tried to bind a keyboard shortcut to maximize the size of the window in OS X and it does not work in Firefox. I think the reason is that Firefox has two menu items called Zoom. View->Zoom is a sub-menu that controls the magnification of the web page, and Window->Zoom controls the size of the window. OS X binds the keyboard shortcut to any menu item called Zoom, View->Zoom gets selected, and does nothing.

I've been using this trick for a couple years now and it never works in firefox. I was hopeful firefox 3 was going to fix it. I see there is an extension that might help: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Keyconfig_extension Same here.

But it doesn't work in all apps, even though Window->Zoom shows the universal keyboard shortcut. Firefox, Postbox don't work. Using Ctrl-Alt-Cmd-/ as the shortcut. Works in Safari, 1Password. Searched google for why it doesn't work in FF, no luck. So this tip is awesome. But it doesn’t work in all apps, even though Window->Zoom shows the universal keyboard shortcut.
