Thank you, this is exactly what I want! It expands the window quickly 
(like emacs -mm) from the terminal.


* This works from the terminal with an open emacs Window: $ wmctrl -i -r 
"0x06400142" -b toggle,maximized_vert,maximized_horz


* However *shell-command "wmctrl...* doesn't not run from ~/.emacs 
(tried it in a fresh Trisquel 11 installation from a virtual machine), 
the window size is opened in the default size:

Failed the settings suggested by Björn Bidar (as I mentioned earlier):

(defun switch-full-screen ()
        (interactive)
        (shell-command "wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -b toggle,fullscreen"))

Failed with the command that is working from the terminal (escaped double quotes, and made sure that the window is open and that the window ID is correct):

(defun switch-full-screen ()
        (interactive)
        (shell-command "wmctrl -i -r \"0x06400142\" -b toggle,maximized_vert,maximized_horz"))

Failed:

(defun switch-full-screen ()
        (interactive)
        (shell-command "wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -b toggle,maximized_horz,maximized_vert"))

Any idea why*shell-command*  is not executed?
