Can a window be minimized by clicking its dock icon?
Something that bothers me as Windows user on OS X is that I can’t minimize an app window by clicking the dock icon of the application. Is there a hidden setting for enabling this behavior or a utility that someone could recommend? macosdockiconwindow-managerminimize Share Improve this question Follow edited Nov 5 ’19 at 18:42
Is there a way to hide an application in the dock?
You can hide an active application by option-clicking (alt-clicking) its icon in the dock. You can also hide the active window and open another window by alt-clicking whatever application you want to open in the dock. But I agree with you that it would be more symmetrical to be able to click to minimize all the open windows in an application.

How can I minimize the size of the dock?
As you can see, there isn’t a way to click the dock. Another option past the accepted answer of using a keyboard shortcut is to enable hiding from clicking the window’s title bar. Open System preference, select General, select Double-click a window’s title bar to minimize’. On Lion this is above the control for Sidebar icon size.

Why are my programs open on two monitors?
This happens if you had extended the display to the second monitor earlier, moved the program windows there, and forgot to switch back to the single monitor setting. When you move a folder or program window to the extended display and then close the window, the window position (x, y) is saved (by most applications).
Where does the dock icon go on a Mac?
When you minimize a window in macOS, it goes to the right edge of your Dock by default. If you’d rather it minimize to the app’s icon, like Windows’ taskbar does, you can alter this behavior in System Preferences. Minimizing apps to the right edge of the dock is fine, but it can quickly become crowded with minimized windows.
