macOS has Hide & HideOthers in addition to Minimize. I go weeks at a time without using minimize because of those.
IMO there's a whole generation of people who did their early computing on MS Windows (including myself) and so internalised that that is how GUIs are "supposed to work". When moving to something else later in life there's a feeling that it is "wrong", but it (e.g macOS)'s way of doing things is also correct and is just a divergent evolution to MS Windows. Research, open-mindedness and experimentation are necessary when using something different.

- jentulman 9y agoThanks for that one.
- fredsted 9y agoDoesn't seem to work on High Sierra.
- gurkendoktor 9y agoI'm on High Sierra and it works, maybe just needs a `killall Dock` to have an effect.
- triplesec 9y agoI'm new to macOS. Thank you. I need these tips. It's really annoying in the differences, but I'm sure thre are more hidden things that are useful I suspect I am not alone
