If they _only_ toggle, they could be called `...toggle...', but it seems
wrong to call them that if they just usually toggle.
In general the set and naming of functions seems kind of clumsy; how about
having just a single `x-ewmh-maximize' that can do both horizontal and
vertical maximization based on an optional argument? Interactively, I'd
like something like:
just `M-x x-ewmh-maximize' toggles (full screen) maximization
C-u `M-x x-ewmh-maximize' toggles vertical maximization
C-u C-u `M-x x-ewmh-maximize' toggles horizontal maximization
C-u -1 `M-x x-ewmh-maximize' un-maximizes
C-u 1 `M-x x-ewmh-maximize' (full screen) maximizes
[Of course normally you'd bind it to a key. I chose vertical maximization
for the single-C-u because I find myself doing that _far_ more often than
horizontal maximization.]
Implementation-wise, this would probably be something like:
(defun x-emwh-maximize (arg &optional axis frame)
"... ARG nil, toggle, ARG < 0, un-maximize, ARG > 0, maximize ...
If AXIS is `horizontal', maximiaze horizontally, if `vertical',
maximiaze vertically, otherwise, both. ..."
(interactive
(cond ((equal current-prefix-arg '(4)) '(nil vertical))
((equal current-prefix-arg '(16)) '(nil horizontal))
(t (list (prefix-numeric-value current-prefix-arg)))))
...)
That seems simpler and more convenient for both users and for programs.
