### From [Ego](extensions.gnome.org)

- You can install it from link below

  https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1750/minimize-to-tray/

## Usage

- From the extension settings, you can click add button and select any opened window to put them in to tray

- There are three options for each application.

  - **Change active status**: You can disable the minimization for specific application

  - **Minimize window on start**: Whenever a new window opens for the application, it will automatically hide and minimize to tray

  - **Keyboard shorcut support**: This adds global keybindings to application window visibility. It currently supports ``, ``, `` and `0-9`, `a-z` keys. If there are are more than one window for specific application, it will focus to last used window.
