Has anyone else experienced this?
MacBook Air (11-inch, Mid 2012), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
Thanks for the suggestion. I am using the correct keystroke combination. Command-M minimizes the active window. My expectation is that Option-Command-M would minimize all open windows in the workspace. This combination has no effect (at all) on my workspace.
Are you pressing Alt key? Alt is Option key
It seems like that shortcut isn't on OS X Mountain Lion
Thanks for the confirmation.
The Apple shortcut support page lists this as an option. It is an option that I would find usefu, particularly on this MBA that is routinely connected and disconnected from a larger monitor.
Well, it works to minimize all here.
Could be Finder prefs...
Go to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key and choose Library. Then go to Preferences folder and trash these files:
com.apple.finder.plist
Then, restart, or log out and in again.
(You will have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.)
Doesn't work for me on OS X 10.8.2, and I don't have any Finder preferences file.
I was not successful in resolving this issue. That includes deletion of preference files.
I've also found Command-Option-M does not minimize all windows.
It doesn't do anything at all with multiple windows open.
Anyone found a solution to this?
On my keyboard the option and alt key are the same. Doesn't work
Try this: Command+Option+H+M. It sounds like it may not work in all situations, but it worked for m (As did Command+H for Hide All).
From: http://osxdaily.com/2012/02/07/minimize-and-hide-all-windows-in-mac-os-x-with-co mmandoptionhm/
"By combining the Hide All shortcut with the minimize keyboard shortcut in Mac OS X Lion, you can use a third ‘Minimize and Hide All’ shortcut by hitting the Command+Option+H+M keys."
OK, that approach is finicky...
This worked for me! Command+Option+H+M keys. It appears the H hides all the windows that are not active. The M hides the active window. I am running OS X 10.10.2.
Thank you for the tip! -Seth W
