I like to work with Photoshop Documents Full Screen and Centered. I use Ctrl-Tab to toggle between all the open documents.

Whenever I start a new document, or open an existing document from disk, all the windows become "Restored Down",
so I have to maximize, WITH THE MOUSE again.

It’s a pain in the neck to do this over and over.

I can’t find anything about this in Preferences settings, and I can’t even figure out a keyboard shortcut for maximizing, those shortcuts only seem to work on the Program window, not on the document windows within Photoshop.

There’s gotta be a way to keep my document windows maximized!

If you maximize one document, then all documents should then appear maximized when you toggle through the documents, it works like this on my machine. Possibly what you are seeing is that the new document opens at "restored down" and what you are seeing is how Photoshop actually handles the open documents when maximized.

Yes, when I maximize one document, they all are maximized.

When I open a new or existing document from disk,
all documents already open become "Restored Down".

This is the behavior I want to change.
I want the new document
or existing document from disk to open maximized,
so all documents will remain maximized.
