Description Archisman Panigrahi 2024-06-16 22:01:00 UTC 
SUMMARY
"Minimize all windows" is not available in screen edges. While "Peek at Desktop" is available, that un-minimizes and shows all the open apps when I open a single app. I want to open a single app after minimizing all apps using screen edges. This is the default behavior in Microsoft Windows as well as in Cinnamon desktop.

Note that "Minimize all Windows" is available as an alternative behavior in the "peek at desktop" panel button, but I want to enable this as a screen edge behavior.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enable screen edges and turn on "Peek at Desktop"
2. After activating this screen edge (which has minimized the windows), open any app

OBSERVED RESULT
All other apps are also opened.

EXPECTED RESULT
I want the app I opened to be shown, and don't want all other apps to un-minimize. This is the default behavior in Windows and Cinnamon.
