Description of the new feature/enhancement

It would be nice to have such a shortcut.
A similar question is available in this link for tmux : https://superuser.com/q/238702

Sometimes it would be very useful to maximize a pane in tmux and then restore it to it's previous size. I've been reading the manual and I can't find a way. What I've come up with is that I could bind a key to resize the pane to "max" width, and another key to restore it to some predefined width. Of course this has its drawbacks, so I'm wondering if anyone has a better idea.
