This afternoon, Tom got me to check out a SIMBL plug-in named megazoomer. After upgrading my version of SIMBL and dropping the megazoomer bundle into its place in my Library folder, each Cocoa program I started from then on had fullscreen capability.
With the default key combination that seems borrowed from Windows (⌘ + ⏎ – similar to Alt + Enter which is full-screen/window mode toggle for apps on Windows) it sends the Application full screen.
The big deal for me was that it worked multi-monitor flawlessly even allowing 2 windows to be full screen on different monitors creating an uninterrupted workflow between the two. Now I can set up a text editor on one screen and Safari on the other at work and not have any distractions.

Also, I just used it on a YouTube pop-up with my laptop plugged into the TV to make the YouTube video full screen on the TV. Damn wicked For The Win.
Nice theme. Yeah I guess megazoomer is a great tool for ex-Windows cons. Myself, I have no need. My screen is too large to sell off that much real estate anyway.
I think my problem is the number of simultaneous windows I have open in general, distracting yet if I were to close them I’m sure I’d lose what I was doing.
Also, recently I’ve been saving tons of stuff to my Desktop for some reason which means it’s cluttered as. Anyway, I’m not sure how often I will actually use it but I’m going to give it a go for now.
