# Maximize to the new Workspace like MacOS

## Overview

This script implements the function of expanding the window in a new workspace, as it works on Mac OS

## Annotation

When the window is maximized 

1. A new desktop is created with the process name of the maximized window

2. The current window is transferred to the new desktop

3. You are automatically transferred to a new desktop

When you restore the window

1. The name of the current window and the name of the desktop are checked

    - If the names match:

        1. The window returns to the main (first) working screen

        2. You are automatically returned to the main (first) screen

        3. The desktop is being deleted

    - If the names don't match - nothing

*In the future, it is planned to make a check in case the window is closed or minimized*

## Running
