Toggle horizontal, vertical and full window maximization within Unity?

Question

I want to toggle windows between:

horizontal maximized <-> horizontal unmaximized ALT+F7
vetical maximized <-> vertical unmaximized ALT+F6
(both) maximized <-> (both) unmaximized ALT+F5

I looked into ccsm but the maximization plugin doesn't work this way or I didn't figured it out.

Thanks for your suggestions.

Answer 1

In the General Compiz Options - Keybindings are the toggle options you require.

Note - ALT+F5, ALT+F6 & ALT+F7 are generally bound to other functions -

CTRL+F5, CTRL+F6 and CTRL+F7 are good substitutes....

Warning: What are some of the issues with CCSM and why would I want to avoid it?

dconf write \
  /org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/core/toggle-window-maximized-vertically-key \
  "'<Alt>F6'"
dconf write \
  /org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/core/toggle-window-maximized-horizontally-key \
  "'<Alt>F7'"

It's not toggle but you can set horizontal/vertical maximization shortcuts in the System settings -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> Windows
