Powertoys: Double click on titlebar to minimize window

[MikeMitterer]

Summary of the new feature/enhancement

On Mac you can double-click on the titlebar to minimize the window.
Great to cleanup the screen

[androidSwDev099]

Standard Windows behavior is:
Double-click a blank portion of the title bar, and the window leaps to fill the entire desktop. Double-click it again, and the window retreats to its original size.

PT does that and should keep doing it since its a Windoze app.

In addition to the above, ctrl + m minimizes the currently active application and windows + m minimizes all applications, should work for most applications unless these shortcuts have a specific use 🤷‍♂️

@androidSwDev099 I know it's standard behavior but first this "standard" was created when we had 15" screens. It made sense to have a quick way to bring a window to full screen. These days we have 32" or whatever screens...

second - on Mac this behavior is configurable. Could be the same on Windows

third - I don't mean that PT should behave differently, I mean PT should enable this feature for the entire OS

[androidSwDev099]

Also if the window as the "_" minimize icon in the upper-right corner, that can be used. I frequently maximize single application windows and imagine many others do too.

In my original response, I meant PT should not change the default OS behavior of double tapping a window title bar - if it's a user configurable option, nobody will mind that.

CTRL-M doesn't minimize the currently active window on my Windows 10 PC.

Windows key + down arrow can be used to minimize the active window. It toggle between maximized window -> un-maximized window -> minimized window.

Alt-Space followed by "n" key works on a PC not running PT to minimize the currently active window. Not sure why PT devs decided to hijack alt-space combination for PT Run as it's been a standard windows default key combination for ever.

@androidswdev99, you can override the keystroke for PT Run.

@MikeMitterer i don't know if this is going to be possible, fyi

@igotinfected, ctrl-m is not a shortcut that will minimize the active window. WinKey+Down is.
