How to minimize every window except one app with a hotkey

Use a KeyRoutines Hotkey trigger with a Show desktop step and list the apps to leave open under Except. Every other window is minimized, so the app you're focused on stays visible.

Steps

1. 1

   Add a Hotkey trigger

   Pick a chord, for example Ctrl+Alt+D.

2. 2

   Remember where things were

   Add Remember layout first, and keep its layout with Remember, so you can bring everything back later.

3. 3

   Clear the screen

   Add Show desktop and list the apps to keep under Except, for example Zoom and OneNote.

Tips

• Bring windows back with a second hotkey that runs Restore layout from the remembered layout.
