As in switching the window between maximised and windowed? Not really helpful as I am on a laptop with minimal screen real estate. Experimenting with multiple desktops which might work ok, apart from the desktop shortcuts always opening things in the first one instead of the current one.

Basically I am switching between three apps, editing a javascript in WordPad, copying it over to Illustrator's presets folder in File Explorer and then testing it in Illustrator. I have two windows open in File Explorer, documents and program files folders because it won't let me save changes directly in the applications folder, my document window in WordPad and multiple documents in Illustrator. When I finish an edit in WordPad and zoom that window Illustrator is the previous app I was in so then I need to switch from that to File Explorer. Anyway hopefully the multiple desktops thing is workable. Haven't used that before in Windows but I'm used to it from Linux so I'll see how it goes.
