Is there a Linux shortcut to minimize a window?
F11 makes a window go full screen. Is there a shortcut that minimizes a window? I am using Arch Linux with Gnome Shell.

It depends on your distribution. In Ubuntu there is preset keyboard short-cut, which I can't remember, because I changed it toAlt-F9, which is what it used to be, and which ties in with the other window controls. (I think it was something likeCtl-Sh-0.)

Gnome Shell actually supports this. Super+H is the default key. If you want to change the key go to:
Settings -> Keyboard -> Windows -> Hide Window

No problems in Fedora 28 either. Never thought to search for "Hide" rather than minimize though.
