Hi.

Mind has gone temporarily blank. Can't think what the shortcut is that
does the same as clicking on the - button in top right of active window.

Can anyone help please?

TIA,
Robin

If I am thinking correctly you want to minimize all windows so you see
you desktop? If this is the case hold down the windows key and press
"D" Let me know if that is what you meant. Hope that helps!

Hi, thanks for that. No, I'm just after minimizing the active one, (to
save having to touch-pad all the way up to the button at top right)

Alt/Spacebar followed by "N". The "N" works whether the Alt key is
depressed or not, so a quick Spacebar, "N" with the Alt key depressed
will work.

Well...Alt+Spacebar makes the system menu (in the upper-left corner of
the window) appear. You can then use the arrow keys to move down the
menu to "Minimize", then press "Enter" to choose it. I don't know of
an actual keyboard shortcut.
