Hotkey to minimize all windows

Postby emmanuel » Thu Aug 16, 2012 3:21 am

hello!

Im new to this forum and thus have plenty yet to learn about ED
I would like to know please if there is a way to set a hotkey to minimize all windows?

I have noticed that the Win+D doesnt work the same as in the Explorer shell, and the option to show desktop
doesnt really minimize the open windows as it does in the Explorer shell but rather hide them to show just the wallpaper, am i right?

thanks a lot!

Hi Emmanuel

Currently I'm afraid there is no eD command to do that.

That is correct. Why do you prefer to have them all minimized?

Actually there is, via the ShowDesktop Internal Command.

In emergeHotkeys define a hotkey (i.e. win+D) to execute the ShowDesktop Internal Command and it should accomplish what you are looking for.
