Keyboard shortcut to minimize maximized windows

On the site:

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/keyboard-shortcuts

It lists the following under "keyboard Windows logo key" keyboard shortcut
keyboard shortcuts:

Windows logo key + arrow down = minimize the window.

However, if the window is maximized when this keyboard shortcut is used, the
window is restored down, not minimized. Of course, you can simply press on the
keyboard shortcut to minimize the window, but when you go back to
This window, it will not be maximized, meaning you have an extra step
It maximizes. Yes, to the best of my knowledge, measures to minimize and
then remaximizing a window are:

1 restore down: Windows logo key + down arrow
2 minimize: Windows logo key + down arrow
3. Select window: logo Windows + Tab key (or one of the other main
combinations that can be used to select an open program)
4. optimize: touch of the Windows logo + up arrow

Obviously not a difficult process or complicated, but I expect
being close to:

1 minimize: Windows logo key + down arrow
2. Select window: logo Windows + Tab key (or one of the other main
combinations that can be used to select an open program)

And it would be if the Windows logo key + shortcut keyboard down arrow
always minimize the window. I am happy that there is a way to restore
but y at - it a keyboard shortcut that minimizes a window maximized?
Thank you.

Hello Nathan Sokalski,.

The closest you can get use Windows + M, which will minimize all windows.

Although you can use Windows + D (display the desktop). You use this shortcut will allow you to use Windows + D now show the last window before the display of the desktop computer.

Hope this helps

  • In El Capitan 10.11.5 keyboard shortcut to switch between windows within the app

    I just started to run El Capitan (10.11.5) and one of my favorite keyboard shortcuts seems to have disappeared: the keyboard shortcut that allow you to move from a windows in the same application. It used to be command + ' (tilde) but now that the shortcut does not work and I can't figure how to get it back.

  • Keyboard shortcut to move a window between two monitors instead of drag and drop.

    I want a quick way to move a window from one monitor to the other in a double configuration monitor without having to drag the window with the mouse. This is particularly useful for full screen windows since to move, I have to exit full screen, catch them with the mouse and drag them to the other monitor. Ideally, I want something I can do with a keyboard shortcut.

    I don't know if this exists, I couldn't find it in a list of keyboard shortcuts. I think it would be an improvement for anyone to use multiple monitors which has good reason to need do to switch between several programs. Since windows looks at multiple monitors and identifies each in the settings of customization like 1, 2, 3, etc, it would make the most sense for me to have one high and one low. So if I have a window screen 2, I can hit a keyboard shortcut to move it to the same spot on monitor 1 (low) or monitor 3 (upwards).

    Maybe it exists in form some and I don't find it not, but if not I think it would be very useful, especially for anyone doing graphic design or programming work.

    (Also I filled out the form for that matter like windows 7, which is what I use at home, but he put it under the XP forum since that is what the computer I write from is running on.)

    Use the following key combination to switch between screens.

    "Windows key + SHIFT + key.

    Detailed instructions:
    Press in and hold the Windows key and then add and hold down the SHIFT key. While now hold both hit the left or right arrow key to move the current active window left or right.

    Q: what is the hotkey for 100% how to do this?

    I had to move in and just touches... like my last-but-one strategy to find it. My last strategy being to 'ask '. :-)

  • Is there a keyboard shortcut to close this window right click on the task bar

    If I click with the right button on the application and type C, which is the key to lose C will be only, highlight, he shut as it should.
    In older versions of windows, the close menu command used popup exactly under the mouse cursor, and now it seems just above the taskbar button.
    If there is any other element in the menu beginning with C, it could speed up things a bit, and I know most geeks would appreciate.

    Nevermind, I got it:
    Click the button on the taskbar on vista closed the window;
    Click Preview in the taskbar in Windows 7 closed the window;

  • Are there ways to create keyboard shortcuts in Windows Explorer?

    Hello

    My OS features:

    Windows XP

    Professional

    Version 2002

    Service Pack 3

    So I do not know when Microsoft has implemented it (maybe?), but I was looking for a way to create a combination of shortcut keys which would act as the 'Alt + arrow up' in the newer versions of Windows...

    If your are unsure what I mean (explanation below):

    In more recent versions of Windows, for example, when you use Windows Explorer or when you're on IE and that you want to save a file using the "Save AS" function to 'Browse' to a place, you can use the combination of 'Alt + arrow up' key to go back one level in the current window/folder.

    I know, in Windows XP Explorer, there is a button on the "Standard toolbar" makes this exact function, but it's so much more convenient to use the keyboard shortcut to do this.

    Does anyone know if a way that I could implement this in Windows XP?

    Thanks in advance,

    Matt

  • keyboard shortcut. (period) disable the classification in the selected layer

    I can't get my keyboard shortcut to disable the selected layer of ranking to work. Windows has the same Mac keyboard shortcut and I'm Windows.

    I use full screen and want to turn off a layer classification but cannot. I have to go back to the main panels and turn off the eyeball for the selected layer.

    Is it me who can not get this keyboard shortcut from. (period) to work?

    If I go on my pad and think that the. (period) is there, I find myself remove the selected layer using what, in my view, could be the. (period) there.

    This keyboard shortcut was reassigned and I use a pdf of Speedgrade obsolete reference? But this one is 10/12/2014.

    Everything could find your question! Re-entered Sg, played with touches of 'standard' period and paved num. Then tried to turn the NumLock... then, rather than being a temp power gimbal, the period key just to delete the layer selected. Not like a rocker... just delete the layer. Had to go back to history (Ctrl/Com - H) back on my bed.

    Then... you can check the status of your caps lock...

  • Y at - it a keyboard shortcut to open the Panel layers?

    I Googled, searched discussions and tried actions registration but have not found the solution.

    What I would like is a simple keyboard shortcut to open the Panel layers.

    That's all.

    I can create and perform actions which create, delete or move channels; Use the menu tab or channels to open it - but I can't seem to find a way to use a key combination to open the Panel layers as you can do for the layers (F7) or actions (F9) boards.

    Someone has an idea?

    Thank you!

    -Bonnie

    You can assign a shortcut using Edit > keyboard shortcuts > application menu >

    Window > channels.

  • Keyboard shortcut for fill window?

    A few years ago I was regularly using a certain combination of keys that would instantly increase the pages of a PDF to fill the window (rather than having to click on the button in the GUI).  But I forgot how do.  I tried the 'keyboard shortcuts' list - using Adobe Reader - but no sign of such a shortcut.  I am currently using Adobe Reader 9.4.7.

    Anyone know?  Thank you.

    -Bob K.

    Yes, it's a good thing to maximize the window to the entire application.  It is, he is not also stretch the document you are viewing - it leaves intact document zoom level (unless you used first of all of your mouse to click on the 'fill window' button next to the field of zoom percentage, which is what I'm trying to avoid having to do whenever I have call a PDF file).  I remember was a keyboard shortcut to make just the document fill the app window - without also maximize the app in fullscreen window.

    The good news is, I just stumbled upon the answer in a few minutes there are myself, trying different combinations of keys.  It turns out, it's Ctrl-3.  If a PDF document zoom level is currently set to, say, 50%, you can press Ctrl-3 and the document will extend to any zoom percentage will fill the current size of the application window.  If your player window is maximized and you press Ctrl-3, your current document to 50% could spend about 142%, whereas if the window is maximized no, say, about half the size of your full screen, the doc may only need to jump to 70.4% to fill this small window.

    Well well.  Happy joy!

    Thanks for the reply.

  • Keyboard shortcut to click on a button in a drop-down window in Thunderbird Mac?

    I recently migrated to Thunderbird 3 on an older Mac OS x 10.4.11 to a whole new Mac OS x 10.9.3. The migration has been almost transparent, and I'm loving many useful features of the new Thunderbird! However...

    There is ONE thing that I do all the time which is not supported by a keyboard shortcut, and I couldn't find anything in the Support forums that relates specifically to it. When I start an email and decide I want to throw it away, I hit command W (close) and get a drop-down window that can gives me the choice to save (as a draft in my case), not save and cancel. The ESC key active Cancel, of course, but none of the other buttons has a keyboard shortcut.

    It's almost the only time wherever I have to grab my mouse when I use TB and I find this very frustrating. I have other applications on the Mac which can accept inside these windows keyboard shortcuts and really missing TB. Is it possible to add these shortcuts? I'd like to be able to use the D command to close an unsent message without saving changes.

    Several people spoke of keyconfig, but we don't know if this works on this version of TB Mac and it is also unknown if it allows access to the buttons I want control. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you!

    The add-on keyconfig is up and running here in TB 24 & 32, but to install it, you will first need to install this add-on:

    https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Thunderbird/addon/CheckCompatibility/

    I found the instructions to create a shortcut to save as a draft and close the window (Ctrl-S is the default key for save as draft), so that we can adapt that Don ' t Save (although Windows, Alt - N is the default key for the command of Don't Save).

    You can have better luck post this question in the keyconfig forum quoted in the first link.
