How to maximize Visual Studio panels?

Is there a way to quickly maximize (and then restore) Visual Studio 2010 panels? For instance, I'd like to temporarily maximize the Output window or unit test results window. In Eclipse, I would just double-click the window tab, but in VS, this undocks the window.

The desired behavior is: double-click to maximize the window, then double-click it again to restore the panel to its original position.

Use this keyboard shortcut: Shift-Alt-Enter It will maximize your current panel similar to Eclipse, but it will use the full screen unfortunately, not just the whole Visual Studio window. I prefer the way Eclipse does it, but this does help in Visual Studio land.
