10 tips for managing minimized windows
Do you minimize your windows with abandon, crowding your Dock with miniature documents? Do you rarely minimize anything, crowding your screen with multiple windows? Knowing the big and small options for this basic window-wrangling feature can save you both time and space.
1. Minimize windows with a double-click in the title bar
When you want to minimize a screenwide window, you don’t have to travel over to its yellow minimize button or let go of your mouse to use the Command-M shortcut.
You have another option: Go to the Dock pane of System Preferences and check Double-click a window’s title bar to minimize. From then on, you’ll have that option, too.
2. Minimize a background window
These buttons appear at the top left of every OS X window.
A window’s control buttons work even if the window is in the background. That means you can de-clutter your screen by clicking a window’s yellow minimize button without clicking on the window to bring it forward first.
