Minimize windows to Dock: slow genie effect

In the past, we can hold shift and press minimize button to get slow genie effect. But in macOS Mojave, I can't do this anymore. Do you want to enable this feature in Mojave?

Copy text below to Terminal

defaults write com.apple.dock slow-motion-allowed -bool YES && killall Dock

Then hold shift and press minimize button.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, macOS Mojave (10.14), lives with iMacs, eMate & Newton.

Double Click to minimize window to dock I am running on Big Sur 11.5.1 os and want to be able to minimize the window to the dock by double clicking on the top of the window bar. I also want to get that feature back in photoshop 2021. I had this set up on my old iMac but can't seem to figure it out on the new one.

Stop macOS from showing a minimized browser window when the parent application is clicked on the Dock? I'm currently running BigSur, but this has been a long time annoyance for me. If I have a browser window of tabs minimized in the Dock and it's the last open window in the given browser, (for any browser I've tried), clicking on the application icon in the Dock (Chrome, Safari, Firefox etc), will restore the minimized window instead of just opening a new page. Rather than bookmarking a set of tabs to open later and then have to delete, I find it convenient to open and minimize tabs I'm not currently working with. I'd much prefer clicking on a Dock icon opening new windows and not pulling something minimized back up. Any system tweaks that might allow me to stop the default behavior? Thanks!

Change dock default I'm using Mojave 10.14.2 on my iMac. With previous editions, when an app that I had not specifically put into my dock was used and then closed, it automatically disappeared from the dock. Now, the apps stay in the dock, segmented to the side, unless I go in and click on Remove from Dock. Is there a way to change the settings so it will work like it used to? Thanks in advance for any help. george
