That should do what you want. ______________________________________________________________________
My understanding right or wrong is that OP wanted the ability to zoom his windows to full screen in full screen mode. I don't believe there is a zoom control on windows in full screen mode. Personally I find full screen mode in Lion terribly obnoxious. When I have to wait almost 2 whole seconds for a process to finish doing what should take place instantly the hydrophobia begins. Although I like many of the features in Lion I especially object to everything Apple has done that makes my very fast computer seem slower than a WinTel box running Vista. That said I think the change to full screen mode in BBEdit is a step in the right direction, but I believe the user needs more control over window size and position. In normal screen mode it's easy to place BBEdit's windows right where you want them. I've been doing it for more than a decade. This script will zoom the front window to full screen: try tell application "Finder" to set screenBounds to desktop's window's bounds tell screenBounds to set its item 2 to ((its item 2) + 44) tell application "BBEdit" to tell its front window to set its bounds to screenBounds on error errMsg number errNum set {cr, sep} to {return, "------------------------------------------"} set e to sep & cr & "Error: " & errMsg & cr & sep & cr & "Error Number: " & errNum & cr & sep beep display dialog e end try I have other scripts that resize and place windows just so, and these are bound to keyboard shortcut for instant use. I also have a utility called MercuryMover which gives me very fine-grained control over window size and placement in every application. -- Best Regards, Chris -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.
