WangYudong Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) Show Mac Desktop I'm looking for a Window's Show Desktop alternative on Mac. The Show Desktop option of Mission Control may be a choice, and I also found and tried this workflow as well, but it doesn't work perfectly. So I decide to make a workflow by myself. It's my first time to write AppleScript and please leave any feedback and suggestion. Download Packal Copy Usage Press ⌘+D to Show Desktop - a shortcut to minimize all the on-screen windows. Also you can assign the hotkey you preferred. How it works A hotkey combining two-step action: Activate Finder and hide all other apps by ⌘+⌥+H. Activate Finder and minimize the front app by ⌘+⌥+M. Similar workflows Show Desktop Minimize all windows Edited December 3, 2015 by WangYudong Link to comment
politicus Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 @WangYudong Great workflow but the keyboard shortcut Cmd+D conflicts with "Bookmark this page in" in Google Chrome. How can I change it? Link to comment

How can I change it? Hi politicus, thanks for trying this workflow. To solve your problem, you can simply apply a new hotkey, e.g. Ctrl+D, in the Hotkey Settings. I hope this workaround helps.

politicus Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Thanks! It is working now. Out of curiosity, where is the Cmd+D set as there are no Cmd+D defined in the script? Link to comment
