FVWM: an idea to Maximization

Hi,

i'm new to fvwm and like it a lot

however, i was somewhat puzzled by the way "Maximization" works:
wanted to define some hotkeys to maximize/grow windows
horizontally/verticaly or even left/right/up/down
and by combining these actions to get the best size and location
(very often i end up with hundreds of windows open and then try to
get the "best" out of them ;-)

these combinations however do not work: the window switches
back to it's 'normal' size after the second hotkey and only
after repeating it, does it do the sec type of maximization
(and of course only that one this time)
so obviously, any of these actions is considered as a Maximization
and any following action of the same type will be taken as a request
to Unmaximize the window (toggle).

of course, one could use "True" to force the maximizations
but then the unmaximization "toggle" will not work with the
same hotkey


if there is already the possibility to do vert. and hor.
maximizations separately, wouldn't it be nicer/more logical
to also handle them separately (ie. assign two booleans instead of
one single)?

best

imre
