If you quickly need to minimize a window, whether it be for privacy or to change between your active applications, the following keyboard shortcut will help to facilitate the window-minimizing process so you no longer have to use your mouse.
Simply press and then hold the following keys in the order they appear.
1. Alt (press and hold)
2. Spacebar (press and hold)
3. n (press)
Just like that, the window should have minimized itself to the task bar.
