iTunes 9.0.3 Zoom and mini Player

Why is iTunes messing with my shortcuts again?

So here’s the deal: since iTunes version who-the-hell-knows it’d go to the mini player when you press Command-Option-Z, then iTunes 9 changed it all and made it fill the screen. iTunes 9.0.1 restored the Zoom functionality, then 9.0.3 took it away. So…

Now for mini Player you have to do a Command-Shift-M
I can’t do that with my left hand alone! That’s how I used to work!
Right hand on the mouse, left hand by the keyboard.
Now it’s two handed operation. Boo.

Update:
It might be possible with a modified “I love you” hand sign to accomplish this, which is ironic since I don’t like this key combo at all!

    Strange thing is that when you press Command-Option-Z the menu still gets highlighted…

    i share this simplistic pain as well, but you probably have seen this already; if not:

    i remember when this was supposed to be a work-around when 9.0 came out, but that whole reassign keyboard shortcuts thing was a little borked. now it works =D
