using the API in an optimal way (unfortunately haven't been able to find

has become (if one likes using Perl).
In order to test my solution put the attached perl script into your
ModulePath, load it and define a key binding for it, e.g.:
Key m WTSF 4 SendToModule smart_maximize.pl dummy
It's probably far from perfect, but at least may serve as a starting
point.

windows. Is there something like this?
