But based upon all your help, I did patch together a pretty ugly kludge that works. #MinimizeWindowUnderMouse "xdotool click --clearmodifiers 1 key super+space" m:0x40 + c:133 + b:1 + release Definitely not as elegant as the original solution, as neither xbindkeys or xdotool was needed and the original solution minimized the background window without having to make it active first. I tried several variations of getactivewindow and windowminimize for ‘key super+space’ that failed in one way or another. The ‘prettiest’ would cascade minimize every open app on the desktop. I’ll polish up a wiki entry, do you have any particular place in the wiki you want it? Here’s a summary for the interim. #### Summary A): Trinity Control Center >> Regional & Accessibility >> Keyboard Shortcuts Shortcuts Schemes >> Global Shortcuts >> Windows - Set "Minimize Window" to “Win+Space” B): - Issue command(s) as root $ apt-get install xbindkeys $ apt-get install xdotool $ apt-get install xbindkeys-config # << optional C): - Edit $HOME/.xbindkeysrc - Add: #MinimizeWindowUnderMouse "xdotool click --clearmodifiers 1 key super+space" m:0x40 + c:133 + b:1 + release Note: xbindkeys does not like superfluous comments within it’s definitions. Leaving prior entries commented out within a config caused odd, and inconsistent, results. ymmv. D): - Issue command(s) as yourself $ killall xbindkeys && xbindkeys E): To minimize any window, combine Window key and the left mouse click. To be added: - How to find any key’s identifier for use with xbindkeys.
