Installation notes


These scripts simply enable the key press of control shift and M to minimize just about any application to the tray.
However you must have power menu installed and in the tray.
Download power menu here

So you can just press control shift  and m to minimize just about any app to the tray.
I have found this doesn't work with microsoft word. So you will need to change the keystroke.

How to install them
