When working with several applications or windows together, if we do not want to use different desktops, it is likely that over time we will have a mess of noses on the desktop, so can become a difficult task find which application we want to open at any given time.
If we maximize the application, the problem is solved quickly, but if we have the need to work with folders or files located on the desktop, it is likely that we will have to work on a window instead of full screen. If this is the case and we have many applications and windows open, the process can take us a long time.
Hide all inactive apps using a keyboard shortcut
Fortunately, through keyboard shortcuts, we can minimize all applications and windows that are currently open on the desktop, leaving only the application we are working on. The keyboard shortcut that allows us to quickly hide all the applications except the one that is active is: Command + Option + H.
This keyboard shortcut may be familiar to you, as the key combination Command + H minimizes all applications that are open on our desktop screen.
Hide all inactive applications using the menus
But if ours are not keyboard shortcuts, something that if you get used to it, you cannot live without them, they are a faithful example of what he said, we can make use of the application menus, since regardless of which one we have open , we will always find the same options: Hide others.
But if what you really want is to minimize each and every one of the applications that are available on the desktop in which we are, we can use the key combination Command + Option + H + M.
