That's because zoom to fit is up to the app developer to implement -- Safari chose to do it with vertical maximize, other apps do the full window to a defined size, or to actually fill the screen, etc. In short, there is no standard for what "zoom to fit" is supposed to do.

It is possible, but requires a bit of knowledge from the Help file on the Resize action:

With that knowledge in hand, you can make a window resize to max vertical (or horizontal) while leaving its other dimension unchanged. This one will maximize vertically for any monitor up to 10,000 vertical pixels:

I use this form because I have three displays with varying vertical heights; if you just have one monitor, you could replace the 9999 with the actual height of the display.

I'm sure this has been dealt with somewhere but I've yet to find anyone 
explaining it.  I'm trying to make Moom treat a key combination with a 
behavior that is simliar to Win+Shift+UpArrow on Windows.  Specifically, 
this results in vertical maximizing of the given window - stretching the 
window vertically to the top and bottom of the screen, while leaving the 
horizontal positions of the window unchanged.

Moom's "Zoom to Fit" does this for Safari, but for most everything else 
seems to really zoom in both directions (horizontally and vertically). 
 I've tried all number of custom configurations on Moom, but not hit on the 
exact behavior I'd described (the closest I've managed to get is to use a 
Move & Zoom action, but this requires predefinition of the width of the 
window).

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
