You can bring it back by using the App Switcher. So you can use this and the app just goes away in a flash. The keyboard shortcut, almost always, is Command H. If you go to the App menu you'll find Hide and the name of the app here. But there's a much better alternative to that. Then I see people with a whole list of minimized icons here on the right side of the Dock. They just want to get Pages out of the way so they can get to other things. So perhaps they don't actually have two windows open here. What I see people doing a lot is using this button to get something out of the way. You can also go to Window and then select it there to bring it back whether it's minimized into the app icon or to the right side of the Dock. In order to bring it back I need to Control click on the icon, or click and hold on the icon, and then I can select the Window here and it will bring it back. If you select that then each window minimizes into the icon, in this case Pages. You can modify this behavior by going to System Preferences, then Dock, and there's a checkbox here for Minimize windows into application icon. Then you can click on the one you want to bring it back. You can shrink all sorts of windows into the Dock from different apps. You can click on it and it brings it back. Now what this does when I click it by default is it seems to shrink the window into the Dock and you can see a little icon version of the window in the Dock here. As a matter of fact if you use Minimize you'll see this yellow button flash. You know it's called that because if we go to the window menu the command Minimize is equivalent to this. This little yellow button here is what I'm talking about. So first let's look at what this button does. But it really is an antiquated technique to hide a window.
I still see Mac users doing this all the time. The one thing I never do is click the little yellow button at the top left hand corner of a window. I do all sorts of things with all sorts of different apps. I write, I make videos, I develop apps, I develop websites. Join us and get exclusive content at /patreon.
