I believe you are looking for
[hold]crtl + [tap]tab > hide windows
can cycle through the available windows by tapping tab again... just like alt-tab in windows
although it doesn't do the selective hiding you suggest.

This has changed, try CTRL + F9
Changed since the 5 seconds before I posted having actually checked it?
CTRL + F9 has always been, and still is, "remove all ui" so you can do pretty screenshots. This is not the same as minimize all windows as was requested by OP.

CTRL + F9 was implemented with Dominion. Previous to that you could cycle through with CTRL + Tab to get "remove all UI" for pretty screens.
Ah, I assume you refer to the patch notes of build 117956 (Dominion).
òCtrl+tab changed to no longer be a list, all UI can be hidden with ctrl+F9
You are quite tight, the Ctrl+tab menu used to be in the same format as the r-click in space menu and many others. The first entry in this list was "hide all windows" but this had the same functionality as Ctrl+F9 removing all UI including brackets, NeoCom etc. Effectively there was two ways of getting at the same function.
The changes brought into build 117956 have nothing to do with Ctrl+F9 functionality, the changes are solely on the Ctrl+tab menu. It got a revamped graphic (in line with windows alt+tab design) and "minimize all windows" was added at the end of the list. This removed the redundancy and added the "minimize all windows" functionality.
The only reason that Ctrl+F9 is mentioned in the patch notes for that build is to tell people where to find the functionality that was removed from the ctrl+tab list so we didn't get "bring back hide ui functionality" all over the forums...
Although I do take your point that that patch note doesn't exactly explain the above, but then they are one liners to give people a headsup not a detail design spec or anything and quite long enough at times without adding to them!
As for Ctrl+F9 being new in Dominion... a quick forum search for "ctrl" and "F9" shows entries from at least 2004 onwards telling people how to take prettier screen shots... |
