I work all-around in Ubuntu 14.04 with many programs opened, among them the terminal. It would be very useful to me a command to minimize and maximize windows.I have searched in the web using various languages for my search, but I've found anything about a command like that. It seems to me impossible that so basic commands do not exist yet.

I would like to be able to choose any already-open window and minimize it from the command line. Is this possible?

I am migrating from Unity to GNOME. One item I am missing is a "Show desktop" button (aka "minimise all windows") in the dash. How can I add this functionality to the GNOME dash (or Ubuntu dock in Ubuntu 17.10 and later), even if it means making a custom .desktop file?  (I know that I can use the Ctrl + Super + D   and that I can install , but I specifically want a button in the dash.)

In linux I use a shortcut to switch between 4 workspaces: win+1/2/3/4.   I would like to have something like this in Windows 10.

How to run any command in another terminal window?  Example: I opened one terminal window and if I run command like apropos editor, then it run and out-puts on that window. But I want to run same command on another terminal window (new window) instead on present window from first terminal.   Further clarification:  I need suggest-command &lt;command&gt; that open new terminal window and run mentioned &lt;command&gt; in that (newly opened) window. (where suggest-command is example of suggestion of command.)  How to do that?

Just starting to use Unity with 11.10, and obviously there are a lot of changes to get used to. One of the most annoying is the habit it has of trying to maximize a window when I drag it up against the top bar to position it.  How do I disable this behaviour? I assume there's a toggle in CCSM somewhere, but I can't find it.

When windows are not maximized, the top panel is basically wasted space for me in Unity.  Is there a way to make it autohide? i.e. make it appear on mouse over.

I know how to Hide (Cmd+H) or Minimize (Cmd+M) a focused window in OS X, but I can't find a keyboard shortcut or even a menu item to restore, unhide, unminimize, or otherwise show a window that I've hidden or minimized.  Anyone have a suggestion?

On Windows Vista, I'm familiar with  Win + D to show the desktop but sometimes I just want to minimise two or three windows as they become active and not the whole lot.  What hotkey can I use to minimise only the currently active window?

I'm wondering if there is any commands or programs to make some window maximized in X Window? For example, what I imagine is something like this  xmaximize -window *window_id*

I would like to know, if there is possible to use keyboard shortcut to focus on first idle (non working) terminal window in unity (13.10)? Something like Ctr+Alt+T, but before opening the new instance of terminal, searching for any idle instance?

I'm a longtime FVWM user over on the Linux side and have developed some keyboard + mouse shortcuts that I find very helpful in managing windows. Specifically:   left click + command + shift = send to back if frontmost, otherwise raise to front right click + command + shift = maximize window vertically (horizontal size unchanged) left+right chord + command + shift = grab window and move it left+right chord + command + control + shift = resize (drag pointer to side or corner and move that to resize)   For all of these, "click" means click anywhere in the window.  Is there Mac software that will let me set this up? I'm on 10.6.  Edit  To clarify, the move/resize operations should begin on mouse-down and end on mouse-up.

I just installed 11.10 and found that once I minimize the terminal window, I can't bring it back. All other Windows are getting minimized to the Unity launcher and I can relaunch them from there. If I go to the launcher and click on terminal a new terminal session is created and the old one is lost completely. This is the first time I am facing such a problem and all my previous installations of 11. 10 didn't throw up any such behaviors. Any suggestions?

On MS Windows we can use Super + Arrow to move a window to the right and the left of the screen, maximize, minimize and even move it to another screen. Is there a way to configure this feature on Gnome?

I'm looking for a way to use a keyboard shortcut to minimize all the windows on the monitor that currently has my mouse on it. I found this page:  but that appears to be hardcoded to minimize windows on a specific monitor, rather than the active monitor. Plus, I have no idea how to compile that code (not a VB coder). Anybody know a way that I can make this happen? I'm on Windows 7 ultimate, 3 monitors.

I'm trying to make my discord bot console (running in terminal) minimize itself, but I do not know a command for minimizing. I tried looking around but I found nothing.

I recently saw  to a great question, and I wondered, is this also possible on Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 with GNOME 3.18 and GDM, as well as on Compiz as the answer to that question shows?  But the keyboard shortcuts aren't so important for me, I just really want to be able to drag windows into the corners and have them automatically resize into those corners rather than on the sides when I release my mouse.
