** Description changed: Keyboard shortcut to minimise all windows required. Description: Ubuntu used to have a button on the bottom left corner of the screen that minimised all windows. This button was equivalent to a button that used to exist in MS Windows prior to the advent of Vista/Windows 7. In Unity this button has been removed, however a 'minimise all' function is still useful to allow users to go directly to their desktop. Competitive analysis: Minimise all windows functionality in other operating systems. Windows 2000 & Windows XP: Button on desktop and "Windows Logo+D" key combination Window 7: Clickable area (difficult to discover) in the bottom-right of the screen and "Windows Logo + D" key combination. (compare comments #10-#12) OSX: "Option-Command-M" Key combination only Change request: - Create a small application that when clicked minimises all windows. Users who would like a 'minimise all windows' button can then add this application to their launcher. This app will not be in the Launcher by default. - It should be possible to drag and drop the 'Show Desktop' icon to place it into any position in the Launcher ------------------------------------ Preferred method of enabling Show Desktop icon in Launcher - A user would add the app to the launcher via either installing it from the software centre or by dragging and dropping it from the dash. It should be possible to change it's position in the Launcher by dragging and dropping in the same manner as any other application. This mini- app can also be run directly from the dash. Note that mini-app *should not* be a ccsm option. ------------------------------------ Fallback method of enabling Show Desktop icon in Launcher - Add checkbox to 'System Settings / Appearance / Behaviour' to enable workspaces - - This should be displayed as: - - Reveal sensitivity Low ----|---------High - ------ - Enable workspaces [] Add Show Desktop icon to Launcher [] - ------ - Restore Default Behaviours + - See attached image "behaviour_panel.png" for layout details. ------------------------------------ To include the Desktop Launcher icon to the launcher you now need to: - Edit the gsetting key "favorites" in com.canonical.Unity.Launcher - Add there a favorite named "unity://desktop-icon"
