yes, I "discovered" this already (and without pestering the list...). it sure helps do avoid the cycling through all three layouts. but that was not my point. sorry, if I have not been clear enough: I really mean the old 'mod1-m' functionality in the tiled layout: toggle maximization status of the focused window. this is still desirable, despite availability of "monocle", I'd say: maximize a _single_ window, do something and shrink it back to its position in the tiling. it depends on circumstances whether this is more (or less) suitable than "monocle". I personally think a "maximize window" option should always be available in addition to "maximize all" (a.k.a. monocle). I know you are approaching the self-imposed 2000 loc limit, but maybe this can be relaxed a bit? :-). best regards, joerg > > Kind regards, > -- > Anselm R.
