Description Bastien Nocera 2013-08-04 09:00:24 UTC 
The Chromebook pixel has a "maximise window" button that should be mapped to this function by default. This involves udev keymap changes, as well as gnome-settings-daemon changes. To minimise the changes to the shell, we should just expose a new D-Bus method for g-s-d to use.

(To be checked, whether to maximise the window, or "toggle maximise" instead)

Which window should this maximize? Just the focused one or accept and XID and find the window?
Comment 2 Bastien Nocera 2013-08-04 10:01:13 UTC 
The currently focused one. It's the exact same thing as "Super+Up" (or maybe "Alt+F10", we don't know whether it should toggle....).

We definitely should not ping-pong between gnome-settings-daemon and gnome-shell.
We already have a maximize keybinding, just add the new keysym as a secondary binding there.

Yeah that makes sense.
Comment 5 Bastien Nocera 2013-08-06 10:08:14 UTC 
Fair enough, we just need the maximise button to be done in the kernel/Xorg.
Comment 6 Giovanni Campagna 2013-08-27 09:00:48 UTC 
Ok, closing at this level.
