minimize window with keystroke

[Bob Brannon]

I have long since forgotten how to minimize, maximize, restore, etc. a
window using keystrokes for the menu in the upper left corner of any window.
Can someone tell me how to do that? It is often faster to use a keystroke
than to use the mouse on the upper right buttons.

WINKEY+M will minimize the active window.

Hi Bob,
ALT + Spacebar will bring up the menu you seek, X or N to max or min
respectively.
R for restore and C for close

Cheers
Jay

Thank you for the help. I have not been able to determine where to find
this out, that is why I resorted to the newsgroup. Would this have been in
help somewhere, cuz I couldn't find it?

Open Help and Support and use "Keyboard Shortcut" for the search term. Click
keyboard shortcut overview, when it is found.
