Tired of dragging the mouse all the way up to the right corner of an open window to minimize, maximize, or close it? If you'd prefer to forget about those teeny-tiny caption buttons altogether, try these keyboard shortcuts instead:

Press Alt-Spacebar and then press:

N to minimize the active window
X to maximize it
R to restore it (from maximized view)
C to close it

You can also press Alt-F4 to close the active window.
