Just double click the top of the window? If I'm understanding right, that's what you want. I only ever double click windows on both Mac and Windows.

Was long time ago I used macOS in any professional capacity, but doesn't it just maximize the height of the window, not the width? I seem to recall some UX like that, but might have been a different action/button.
Mac has a weird windows models based on contents, not the display. So the content can “suggest” maximum and minimum size when you double click the title bar. it fits within the document model (windows are tied to documents while the application oversees things, which is why the menus are global and closing a window does not exit the software).
Thanks for the insight. I have never thought about it that way and it explains the weird behaviors you mentioned and also why it works well for people who do mostly office stuff. As a dev, I heavily use browser, editor and terminal, which don't map as well to the document model.
It's the same behaviour as Option + Maximize. Finder for example, that grows taller. Terminal for example, that goes full screen. My browser also goes full screen.
Seems like the app decides what the behaviour is. But the point being it's the same behaviour as the Option + Maximize.
Yeah, that it does but I quite like the way it gets taller but keeps the width.
Never tried a double click, thanks!
