Application Icon   The Window menu

Just like most every macOS application, the Window menu lists all open windows of the active application and gives you access to commands for managing them.

Note: Some commands in this menu may be under the control of the operating system. For example, Move to iPad X is created and handled by macOS. Also, some commands may be present only in more recent versions of the operating system. These commands are not documented here.

Close/Close All: Close the current window or all of them.

Zoom: Maximize the current window without entering fullscreen. Hold the ⌥ Option key to maximize all open windows.

Tile Window to Left/Right Side of Screen: Enter Split View and tile the current window to the chosen side. Hold the ⌥ Option key to move the window instead. With the affected window active, holding the ⌥ Option key will allow you to choose Revert.

Minimize: Minimize the current window to the dock. Hold the ⌥ Option key to minimize all open windows.
