Can't access minimized windows #184

Closed harrdb12 closed 6 years ago

harrdb12 commented 6 years ago

Not sure if this is intentional or not... after a window has been minimized, I can't seem to figure out how to access it again using bug.n; i.e. the normal hotkeys of Win+Up or Win+Down don't work. I find I have to either click on the minimized window or Alt+Tab to it. Is this behavior intentional?

Minimizing a window, especially with #^m::Manager_minimizeWindow(), results in a floating window regarding bug.n. It was implemented for better compatibility to other window management requirements. In the context of bug.n minimizing a window does not make much sense -- that is, what views are for.

WinUp/Down is an alternative to AltTab, which only cycles through tiled (not floating) windows. Therefor AltTab is the way to access a minimized window.

This makes sense; thank you for answering.
