"Minimize window" shortcut does nothing

The minimize windows shortcut available in the shortcuts settings does nothing. Trying various different combinations of keyboard shortcuts have yielded no result.

It should be minimizing the browser window when this shortcut is activated.

@Mattches I can confirm this. Wanting to say I’ve tried some other shortcuts and they don’t work, but too lazy to go play with them right now.

To be clear, this is referencing brave://settings/system/shortcuts where a person may hit Add to create a new shortcut. So like in my trying, I tried various things such as Alt+A but it did nothing regardless of what page I was on.

I was thinking of making a Github for it, but debating how to phrase. I kind of want to submit it where they can look and QA a bit more for all of the shortcuts. Or if they aren’t meant to work, to hope they can remove them from the list.

Figure might be easier just to have you ping internally and see what they know.

Yep — I can reproduce this on both macOS and Windows 10. Does seem to be specific to the Minimize window function — other shortcuts seemed to work just fine. I’ve opened an issue for this here:

Yeah, just tested some and guess you’re right. Though the ones below don’t seem to do anything for me. Not sure if missing something or what they specifically do, but couldn’t seem to make anything work.

  • Show as tab
  • Bookmark bar open all new tab group
  • Debug toggle tablet mode

@Saoiray can you add a comment in that issue saying that those shortcuts also don’t perform as expected?
