Adding a "Maximise and close border" option to window's right click menu

A problem I have with Gnome is that when you maximise a window, the window’s title bar (the one with the title and X button) stacks with Gnome’s top bar, taking up too much space and pushing the content down.

My solution is to add a button on the right-click menu (similar to “Move” or “Resize”) to maximise the window and also hide the title bar. We could also add a keyboard shortcut, like Super+Shift+Up. I know this isn’t easy to implement because of Wayland, but it needs to be done.

I also posted an issue on GitLab here, but after some thinking, I believe adding a right-click option is better than forcing it on all windows.

Something similar to my suggestion is kitty’s “hide_window_decorations” setting on the config:
