Description keisangi 2009-06-26 12:44:00 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.4)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

it would be nice to have a hotkey to minimize all windows except the active one..
when you have lots of opened windows and want to focus on one window in particular, having a hotkey to minimize all but active window..

also it would be cool to have grouping options, like in compiz.
say i group 3 or 4 dolphin windows, and then i press the hotkey
everything would get minimized except the 4 dolphin windows..

tnx for your time.

I've periodically wanted this too. Kind of like a "focus on only the current app" action.

For the reference, OS X used to have this feature. Besides, there are separate shortcuts for
- Hide
- Hide others
- Minimize
- Minimize all (others?)

Those are good ones for productivity.
