I am a Linux user and new to macOS. I installed some programs such as google-chrome and macvim from brew. After launching both of them, I can not make the window maximize. Normally, for the built-in Terminal and some other apps, I can use Zoom to make them maximize, but not for these two apps. I can Ctrl+command+F to fullscreen them, but that is not what I want – I just want to maximize them.

Is such a simple maximize action not supported under macOS?

If you want a simple keyboard shortcut to maximize the window to fit the full screen, without actually going fullscreen, you can install Spectacle and set up the shortcut for “Fullscreen” (I know the naming is misleading here):

For example, I've set up ⌃⌥⌘F.

If you're used to Linux' and Windows' tiling window management shortcuts, this app will also provide you with similar functionality.
