I'd rather use something which has its own ideas instead of just being anti or pro something else.

It would be more satisfying if you, as a GNOME 3 representative, tried to answer the actual question (vertical maximise), rather than a tangentiality.

Of course I'm not at any liberty to ask you of anything. So, just a note.

The reason for not answering is simple, I don't know. Answering "I don't know" is pointless noise.

Checked it a bit, Settings → Keyboard → Shortcuts → Windows allows you to assign a keyboard shortcut to do vertical or horizontal maximization.

Thank you!

I know I used vertical maximization in Gnome 3, until it disappeared from my perception -- I believe that happened around 3.8. But the kind I used was triggered by double-clicking the titlebar (titlebar double-click action was configurable). I expected that it was removed altogether, rather than relegated to a keyboard-only action..

The Gnome tweak tool allows you to restore this action through a simple GUI. In Fedora (19), this is in the gnome-tweak-tool package.
