Minimize on ctrl+z

[W4RH4WK]

Is it possible to minimize the window on ctrl+z. I quickly checked and it seems like ctrl+z doesn't do anything.

Thanks for reporting! No, that's not possible yet.

But it would be easy to implement, namely an implementing person would need to look at src/window/mod.rs, introduce a new function akin to the existing one for the fullscreen, call it appropriately and introduce a new setting in src/window/settings.rs.

Using the new setting then (which would be probably called g:neovide_minimized), you could bind it yourself using nnoremap (it's documented at :h key-mapping, which takes a key combination to map and the commands to execute. Neovide refrains from adding new keybindings which existing/switching users might expect to behave otherwise.

I see. Do you think it would be possible to hook into the existing keybinding? I've tried nvim-qt, which ships with the Windows distribution of Neovim, and nvim-qt supports minimize on ctrl+z directly without the need to set a keybinding.

If by "hooking into" you mean "executing on pressed" on your side, yeah, that's possible with the already mentioned map family. Though the functionality just isn't there inside of Neovide yet.

I had a quick look at neovim-qt and I think I found the corresponding code. It's an autocmd that executes a vim function that triggers the corresponding UI method:
