Forums -> UltraMon™ -> Show Desktop In Ultramon Beta 3.0.4

I read in the patch notes that this release supports "show desktop" per monitor, I tired it out using the right click menu on the taskbars and it works great!

Is there any to assign that "windows key" + D makes all the windows on my primary monitor collapse? I didn't see any options for show desktop under the hotkeys menu.

Thank you!

Currently that's not supported, but hotkeys for per-monitor Show Desktop etc are planned for one of the next releases.

That would be very helpful indeed.

On my system, once I have collapsed all windows with Ctrl-D, restoring a single Window on screen 1 (by clicking on it in the taskbar) will simultaneously restore all windows on screen 2, which I personally find very irritating.

Using Ultramon's "Show the desktop" command prevents this behaviour. Unfortunately this command is buried to deep to be practical, at least on the primary screen (right-click on the Ultramon icon in the systray -> Window management -> Show the desktop).

As long as there isn't any way to define a shortcut within Ultramon, do we perhaps have a workaround, ie any other way to call the command, use a script etc?

Unfortunately no, there is no command line interface etc for executing Show Desktop and the other window management commands.
