    I know that Command-M fulfills the same function as the yellow 'minimize' button on every window. Is there not a keystroke that acts like the green button?

    The list of keyboard shortcuts for OSX on the Apple website doesn't mention anything like that; does that necessarily mean it doesn't exist?

    the way to add a keyboard shortcut in OS X is find the name of the menu command that you want a shortcut for.

    go to System Pref./Keyboard/Shortcuts/

    click on the "+" button, choose "All Aplications" for the menu command, type "Zoom" with no quotes, and set the key command you want the shortcut for.

    looked around on google and saw a bunch of people writing scripts and whatnot to get this keyboard shortcut, uh huh. . . haha

    I know how to add shortcuts; 'Zoom' is not what I'm looking for. In fact, you don't need a keyboard shortcut for zoom; Ctrl+Scroll does the the fullscreen zoom, and Command+(+/-) does the job for documents. I'm looking for a shortcut for the 'green-button function'.
