keybord commands to maximize windows?

How do I maximize a window without a mouse? And how do I restore it to the
un-maximized size without a mouse?

I.e. what are the keyboard commands to do that?

ALT-Space then x to Maximize (note the underlined x in the menu)

ALT-Space then r to Restore (note the underlined R)

Gee, you have a maximize/restore button near the right end of the
application's title bar, the icon menu at the left end of the title bar,
the ALT-Space keyboard combination described earlier AND the context
menus on the application's task bar button. That's FOUR ways to Maximize
and then Restore a window. You don't need the keyboard for three and
don't need the mouse/trackball for the icon menu. You can even move the
window and adjust the window size without a mouse by using the icon
menu. Isn't that ENOUGH? Where are you going to put that piano size
keyboard with separate keys for every function you can think of?
