In Gnome 16.04 Window minimize shortcut is not working

  • 772

I used to use window + H to minimize a window. But it's not working. Even ctrl + alt + 0 is also not working. Any idea how to fix it?

    There should be these shortcuts to minimize a Window:

    • Ctrl+Alt+NUMpad 0 to minimize/restore the current window

    • Ctrl+Super+↓ to minimize/restore the current window
      (needs to be pressed twice if the current window is maximized)

    • or Ctrl+Super+KeyPad 0 to minimize the current window (called Hide Window) in the shortcut configuration panel — notice that from there you can't differentiate keypad-numbers and normal numbers, but they are different shortcut-wise.

    • and Ctrl+Super+D to minimize all windows.

    I never heard of Super+H to minimize windows though.

  2. I think Super+H should work on Ubuntu 18.04. On Ubuntu 16.04, you have to use Ctrl+Alt+0 by default, but it didn't work for me either. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I don't have NumPad panel on a laptop. Anyway, just re-assign it in the Keyboard settings.
