Hotkey Settings

The hotkey settings tab contains all the hotkeys that you can set for miniMIZE. To set the hotkey, click on the hotkey edit control and press the hotkey combination that you want to set for the particular function.

·    Cycle Thumbnail Levels - This hotkey will change the current window level (position of the thumbnail in the Z-order) for all of the thumbnails.
·    miniMIZE All Windows - This hotkey is a replacement for the Windows default 'Minimize All' hotkey (Win+m). This hotkey is a work around for the problems that miniMIZE has catching windows when they are minimized using Win+m.
·    Show/ Hide Thumbnails - This hotkey shows or hides all of the thumbnails.
·    Add As Exclusion - This setting is more of an Accompaniment than a hotkey. Setting this hotkey to one of the options sets the key that if held while minimizing a window, will add that window to the exclusion list (see the topics on Exclusions and Exclusion Settings ).
Warning: When setting the 'Add As Exclusion' hotkey be careful to ensure that the key you choose is not currently set in the 'minMIZE All Windows' hotkey. The reason for this is fairly simple. If you are using the 'Add As Exclusion' key in your 'miniMIZE All Windows' hotkey, then executing that hotkey would not only minimize all windows, but it would also add them all to the exclusion list.
For example in the screenshot, setting the 'Add As Exclusion' hotkey to anything other than 'Alt' would be reproduce this problem.
Once you have setup your hotkeys, clicking Ok will close the dialog.
