Description
### Description of the new feature / enhancement
Concise and to the point. Minimization is achieved via keyboard shortcuts, and it works without many bugs. Although it's very simple, no one seems to have done it, or has done it poorly. Many thanks.
### Scenario when this would be used?
This feature is useful for anyone looking to save time, as minimizing is a very frequent operation. Because of this frequent use, using a keyboard shortcut can save most people a significant amount of time, resulting in a substantial increase in efficiency!
