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.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
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)
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
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.

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

any answer to this? i too would like keyboard shortcut for minimize
As said by manp, you can use AutoHotkey. Simply use the following script if you want shift+esc to minimize active window:
If you want that shortcut to only work with Notepad++, put the following line before the above one:
