Question Is there a way to quickly show or hide all windows in Fluxbox?


Hi.

Is there a way to quickly minimise and maximise all windows in Fluxbox? Like a show desktop icon on the panel or key binding?

Thanks.

Hm. I did it just now by adding the following to the ~/.fluxbox/keys file:

Code:
Mod4 d :ToggleCmd {ShowDesktop}
So, Mod4 + D toggles "ShowDesktop". "Mod4" being the Windows key on my keyboard. After saving the changes, Reconfigure or Restart Fluxbox.
