I'm recently coming from Windows, and I loved ConEmu - specifically the feature that I could switch between minimized / restored with a simple hotkey.

I'm using Tilix on 18.04, and I like Tilix, but the only way I can find to accomplish the same thing with Tilix is by using Quake mode - in Quake mode, the toggle between hidden / visible is accomplished the same way. Thing is, I don't much like Quake mode. I have two monitors, and I like to move windows to the side at my leisure.

Is there a way to toggle window between visible (not full screen) and minimized / hidden - without resorting to quake mode?

    I do not see an immediate solution without scripting. Dash to Dock or Dash to Panel might provide you the behaviour that you want, however for all applications on the dash. These extensions feature "Appkeys", i.e. you can summon the first app on the laucher with Win+1, the second with Win+2 etc. If in the options you set "Behavirour" tp "Minimize, then the hotkey will toggle between showing and minimizing the app. – vanadium Jul 09 '18 at 20:36
  • @vanadium I know what you are talking about. I'll investigate further. Thanks. – dgo Jul 09 '18 at 21:36
  • This commands to minimize/maximize might help you. – Pablo Bianchi Mar 18 '19 at 15:27

There are 5 steps for this:

  1. Go to Settings > Devices > Keyboard Shortcuts

  2. Create Custom Shortcuts

    Name: Tilix
    Command: tilix --quake
    Shortcut: Ctrl + Space (Anything you prefer)

  3. sudo nano .zshrc

  4. Add following instructions there

     prompt_context() {
   if [[ "$USER" != "$DEFAULT_USER" || -n "$SSH_CLIENT" ]]; then

    fi
 }
 AGNOSTER_PROMPT_SEGMENTS+="prompt_end"

  5. Save and restart terminal
