[QUOTE="witTank, post: 1607912, member: 329776"] know exactly what you mean, in windows you get used to restoring a minimised window with alt+tab. In OS X you can minimise the window with cmd+m but there's no way to restore it with the keyboard, quite annoying. Instead use cmd+h to hide the window, as mentioned by ron4mac, and then cmd+tab to restore. Alternatively you could cmd+m to minimise then go to mission control by either using the F3 shortcut or a 4 finger upwards swipe on the trackpad (starting from outside the trackpad area). Going from one OS to the other inevitably means adapting habits, just one of them things. What I personally miss from windows is the ability to maximise a window or snap it to half the screen or full height. And the total lack of keyboard mnemonics is a slight inconvenience as I liked using them. Still, nothing too major. [/QUOTE]
