I know option + minimize will minimize all windows associated with the window's application, but I'm looking for a 'hide all' much like the OS9 feature.. so ONLY my current application's windows will remain open..
Can you do this in X?
I usually option + click to 'hide' an application and all it's windows, but a friend of mine uses the minimize method in x and it got me thinking about using this as a feature when giving presentation reviews.. often times these meetings are with little to no notice and involve lots of people crowding around my desk.
I'd like to be able to hold a few keys down to clean up all the background windows very quickly.
Any ideas?
Mac Minimize Shortcut
Photoshop 6 mac. Windows users have been ready to minimize every window and get to their desktop ever since keyboards with the Win key started coming on standard windows keyboard layout. You just simply have to click WIN + M keys on your keyboard, and every window is out of your way and you are on your desktop in a moment but in a Mac OS X environment it is not. Minimize them all: ⌥ ⌘ M (or just hold ⌥ to get 'All' while at 'Window' menu); Then, while you still have minimized app's active focus, you can either press control ↓ to get preview of its windows or you can try finding window you need using windows list in 'Window' menu. Click the yellow Minimise button in the top-right of the window. Choose Window Minimise. Press Command-M. Press Command-Option-M to minimise all windows belonging to that app.
