How is this different than the "windows key + m" combination that Windows already has?
i'd never used that command before, but now that i have, i find that pressing it a second time does not restore all the apps to the screen like this command does.
maybe you can remap windows + m to this command instead?
Or windows key + D, for that matter.
ok shig. now there ya go. unlike anonymous dude, you're right on the money there.
nice tip about windows-d
if you use windows-m to make the apps go away, you can use shift-windows-m to bring them back.
