{{TipImported |id=819 |previous=818 |next=822 |created=2004 |complexity=basic |author=Siegfried Bublitz |version=5.7 |rating=14/10 |category1=Windows |category2= }} Pressing <code>CTRL-Z</code> in normal or visual mode will send Vim to the background, suspending it. Even gvim is iconized. In Microsoft Windows, this means pressing "minimize" the current gvim window. Windows also provides a "shortcut key" property in the "Properties" dialog of any given shortcut. You can open this dialog and enter <code>CTRL-ALT-Z</code> as the shortcut key by selecting the shortcut key box and typing the key combination. Doing so allows you to press <code>CTRL-ALT-Z</code> to bring Vim to the foreground after launching it, and press <code>CTRL-Z</code> to minimize. ==Comments==
