  <title>Maximize and unmaximize a window</title>

  <p>You can maximize a window to take up all of the space on your desktop
  and unmaximize a window to restore it to its normal size. You can also
  maximize windows vertically along the left and right sides of the 
  screen, so you can look at two windows at once. See
  <link xref="shell-windows-tiled"/> for details.</p>

  <p>To maximize a window, grab the titlebar and drag it to the top of the
  screen, or double-click the titlebar. To maximize a window using the 
  keyboard, hold down <key>Ctrl</key> and <key><link 
  xref="windows-key">Super</link></key> and press 
  <key>&#8593;</key>.</p>

  <p>To restore a window to its unmaximized size, drag it away from the 
  edges of the screen. If the window is fully maximized, you can 
  double-click the titlebar to restore it. You can also use the keyboard 
  shortcut <keyseq><key>Ctrl</key> <key><link 
  xref="windows-key">Super</link></key> <key>&#8595;</key></keyseq>.</p>

  <note style="tip">
    <p>Hold down the <key>Alt</key> key and drag anywhere in a window to 
    move it.</p>
