What is the keyboard shortcut for Minimize (Adobe Lightroom)

The keyboard shortcut for Minimize in Adobe Lightroom is Command + M (macOS) or Ctrl + M (Windows). This shortcut minimizes the Lightroom application window, hiding it from view but keeping it running in the background.

Minimizing a window can be useful when you need to access another application or when you want to temporarily hide Lightroom from view. When you minimize Lightroom, it will still be running in the background, and you can easily restore it to view by clicking on its icon in the dock or taskbar.

Here are some examples of when you might want to use the Minimize shortcut:

  • To access another application: If you need to access another application while using Lightroom, you can minimize Lightroom to make room for the other application window. When you are finished with the other application, you can restore Lightroom to view by clicking on its icon in the dock or taskbar.
  • To temporarily hide Lightroom: If you want to temporarily hide Lightroom from view, such as when you are giving a presentation or when you are watching a video, you can minimize Lightroom. This will hide the Lightroom window, but Lightroom will still be running in the background. You can restore Lightroom to view by clicking on its icon in the dock or taskbar.

The Minimize shortcut is a convenient way to temporarily hide Lightroom from view or to access another application while using Lightroom. By using the Minimize shortcut, you can quickly and easily switch between Lightroom and other applications.
