If that was true, why does GNOME include the ability to minimize then? The only thing that was removed was the minmize button. Try Super+H or right click -> Minimize.
- seba_dos1 9y agoSounds like this shortcut triggers an action performed by compositor, while the parent is talking about actions triggered by applications.
- jhasse 9y agoAh I see, makes sense.
- makomk 9y agoMainly because right-click menu space was cheap, I think. They were quite clear at the time that they were removing the minimize button because they didn't think minimizing windows, as a concept, had any place in their desktop environment anymore.
- jhasse 9y agoWell it's supported by default and you can even add the minimize button back with GNOME Tweaks. Works in Wayland, too.
