    How can I minimize notepad++ window?
    Currently I use 4.6 version. Is this feature implemented in future releases?
    I would like to use SHIFT+ESC combination, but I can't find how it can be customized.

      manp, thank you! It works! :-)
      Total Commander uses Shift+ESC shotcut. I think it's very useful to minimize notepad++ by the same way.

      There is the standard Windows shortcut: Alt+Space, N (That's hold the Alt key down and press the spacebar, then release the Alt key and press the N key.  This should be available for all Windows applications, not just Notepad++.

      I also use AutoHotkey and you can work shortcut miracles (like this) with that (particularly if you still need Shift+Esc).

      (Sorry I don't know what it is if you're working on another platform)

    As said by manp, you can use AutoHotkey. Simply use the following script if you want shift+esc to minimize active window:

    +Esc::  WinMinimize A
    

    If you want that shortcut to only work with Notepad++, put the following line before the above one:

    #IfWinActive ahk_class Notepad++

    1/ You can use Alt+space,n to reduce a window from the system menu. In french this is alt-space,u, not sure n is the right letter in english - please check your system menu.
    2/ I use a nifty shortcut manager for Windows called Winkey; it manages key combos using the WinLogo key, and can map such a combo to a Minimize active window command. So Win+down_arrow works for me.
