Apple: Please, Make Up Your Mind About The Mini Player Keyboard Shortcut In iTunes!

Really, what is the deal with you guys. Every time you update iTunes, the Maximize button/Keyboard Shortcut (Ctrl-Command-Z) works differently. At first, tapping Ctrl-Command-Z would toggle the user between the normal view and the Mini Player: itunes-miniplayer.png

Then updates started showing up that when the keyboard shortcut is used would cause iTunes to “Maximize” it’s window to the full screen. Then with iTunes 9.0-9.0.2, the shortcut was toggling between normal and Mini Player again.

Now with iTunes 9.0.3, the Ctrl-Command-Z maximizes the iTunes window again. I now see that there is a “new” shortcut: Shift-Command-M. That toggles between the Mini Player and the normal iTunes window.

Apple, please, make up your mind and stick with it. You guys are so much better than Microsoft and Windows, yet with iTunes, I feel that you decided to give the project to a bunch of Windows developers you recently hired.

So is it safe to assume that “Shift-Command-M” is the toggle now and forever? Please?
