# Objective

Fixes #52884

On macOS, with **"Double-click a window's title bar"** set to **Fill**
and **"Tiled windows have margins"** enabled (System Settings > Desktop
& Dock), double-clicking Zed's title bar fills the whole visible frame
with no margins, while native apps leave the margin in place.

The `"Fill"` arm of `titlebar_double_click` currently falls back to
`zoom:`, with a comment stating that there is no documented API for the
Fill action. `zoom:` is the classic maximize: it targets the screen's
visible frame and never goes through the system tiling path, so the
margin preference cannot apply.

## Solution

AppKit does implement the action: `_zoomFill:` is the selector behind
**Window > Move & Resize > Fill**, and it goes through the system tiling
path. Prefer it for the `"Fill"` case, keeping `zoom:` as a fallback
when the window does not respond to it.

This means the margin geometry stays owned by the OS: neither
`EnableTiledWindowMargins` nor `TiledWindowSpacing` has to be read or
reimplemented in gpui, and the behavior follows the setting when the
user toggles it.

The selector is underscore-prefixed, hence the `respondsToSelector:`
guard and the `zoom:` fallback.

## Testing

Measured on macOS 26.6.2 (25G76), aarch64, on a 2560x1440 display with
the Dock on the left, so `visibleFrame` is `(80, 0, 2480, 1410)`. Probe:
a plain `NSWindow` (`titled`, `resizable`) in a standalone AppKit
binary, with `EnableTiledWindowMargins = 1` and `TiledWindowSpacing`
unset (default 8).

| action | resulting frame | insets vs `visibleFrame` |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `zoom:` | `(80, 0, 2480, 1410)` | 0 on all four sides |
| `_zoomFill:` | `(88, 8, 2464, 1394)` | 8 pt on all four sides |

`respondsToSelector: _zoomFill:` returns `YES` on that build. `cargo
check -p gpui_macos` and `cargo fmt -p gpui_macos -- --check` both pass.

To reproduce as a reviewer: enable both settings above, then
double-click the title bar. Before this change the window touches the
screen edges, after it the margin matches Finder or Safari. With "Tiled
windows have margins" off, both behave the same.

One behavior difference worth flagging: `zoom:` toggles, so a second
double-click used to restore the previous frame, while `_zoomFill:`
stays filled. AppKit exposes `_zoomUntile:` for the reverse direction,
which restores the pre-fill frame in my testing. I left it out to keep
the diff minimal, but I am happy to add the toggle if you would prefer
that a second double-click untiles.

I could not find a way to cover this with an automated test, since the
assertion would be about AppKit's own tiling geometry.

Release Notes:

- Fixed double-clicking the title bar ignoring the macOS "Tiled windows

"Fill".
