Re: [xmonad] Minimise windows?

magnus:

Is there a way of minimising windows in Xmonad?

I've found several times that I really miss minimising of windows. Right now e.g. I have a screen with VirtualBox (its control window and a window for a single VM) and I want to stick a browser next to the VM to follow some instructions on a web page. What I've ended up doing so far is moving the control window to a "scratch screen" so that the screen is divided evenly between the VM and the browser. However, once I'm done I'll move the browser back to the "web screen" and I'll have to move the control window back again from the "scratch screen".

I tend to move windows to a scratch workspace. I think encapsulating that model as a 'raise/minimise' key binding would make sense. -- Don
