toggle-frame-maximized

[Sam Steingold]

A de-facto standard keybinding is f11: maximize/full screen the window.
(chrome, gnome-terminal, freeciv - all comply).

Here is an implementation for emacs:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defcustom frame-maximization-mode 'maximized
  "The maximization style of \\[toggle-frame-maximized]."
  :version "24.4"
  :type '(choice
          (const :tab "Respect window manager screen decorations." maximized)
          (const :tab "Ignore window manager screen decorations." fullscreen))
  :group 'frames)

(defun toggle-frame-maximized ()
  "Maximize/un-maximize Emacs frame according to `frame-maximization-mode'."
  (interactive)
  (modify-frame-parameters
   nil `((fullscreen . ,(if (frame-parameter nil 'fullscreen)
                            nil frame-maximization-mode)))))

(define-key global-map [f11] 'toggle-frame-maximized)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I think this should go into frame.el.
Objections?

But for many terminals (notably DEC terminals) <F11> generates <ESC>.

And Drew's library frame-cmds.el(http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/frame-cmds.el) provides various commands to maximize frames(although `maximized' is not the same as `fullscreen').

fullscreen.el(http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/fullscreen.el) also provides fullscreen support.

This is not a very common use case, and f11 is not relevant to such a
case anyway.

This offers a lot of useful functionality,
and one might argue for its inclusion into Emacs,
but it is, essentially, optional/non-standard.

My code makes Emacs a more compliant desktop application.

This is old and very X-specific.

Are you smart enough to use Lisp?

FWIW/la-petite-histoire: I've offered it, all or any part.

It is a good idea overall.  But I would like to suggest Shift-f11 or Ctrl-f11 or something to do the complement of frame-maximization-mode.  

I tend to use both, and having both available would be convinient.

Thanks,
