Setting Up Keyboard Shortcut for Maximizing Windows

I have had a really difficult time finding and figuring out information regarding a personalized MAC keyboard shortcut to maximize a window. Can anyone help with this? I use Mac OS Sierra.

MacBook Pro, macOS Sierra (10.12.2)

Maximize Current Window

Tired of clicking the green button to increase the size of the current window? Set a keyboard shortcut for that instead! You’ll be making your own keyboard shortcut for this one since it isn’t set by default, but what a handy keystroke it becomes once you configure it:

Go to System Preferences and “Keyboard”
Choose “Keyboard Shortcuts”, then go to “Application Shortcuts” and click + to create a new shortcut
Enter “Zoom” into the “Menu Title” section and then click into the Keyboard Shortcut box to define your keyboard shortcut (Control+Command+= is set in the example)

Now you can hit Control+Command+= (or whatever else) to instantly zoom and maximize the current window, nice!
