Is there a config option so maximize widows that are minimized when you select them via cmd+tab?

I understand why this might be not possible, since technically the selection involves the app, not the window. And you might have multiple windows in various states of maximized/minimized. And you don't necessarily want to maximize all minimized windows...

BUT, that said, I often just have one minimized window of an app open, and it would be very useful for it to maximize itself when I select the app with cmd+tab.

Thoughts?

  • I don't minimize stuff so it doesn't make sense to me. You are just adding extra work for no reason. You can use hide (command+h) if you really need to get rid of the app for a while. Or else you may use that weird "spaces" feature, which is annoying but maybe useful.

  • Cmd-Tab is an application switcher, not a window switcher.

  • @MateusRibeiro - That 'weird "spaces" feature' is one of the most useful things Apple ever devised. It's just a shame they spoiled it when they added fullscreen. See superuser.com/a/1187552/347380 and apple.stackexchange.com/a/179403/85275

I am not certain that this addresses the problem but still: after you ⌘+⇥ to desired application then without releasing ⌘ press ↓ (down arrow) or ↑ (up arrow). This will display all windows of this application. Those which are minimized are displayed in smaller size. You can navigate to desired window using arrow keys and then press ⏎ to bring it up.
