Want to send an open window to the Taskbar without using the mouse? Press Alt-Spacebar to display the context menu of the currently active window, then press N for Minimize. So, for the quick version, press Alt-Spacebar-N.

You can use a similar technique to close an open window. Press Alt-Spacebar, then press C for Close. It’s easier on the wrists than
Alt-F4. And easier is better.
