How are YOU minimizing windows, e.g. in Windows XP with

1. the mouse (any gestures? which gestures?)
2. the keyboard (any hotkeys? which hotkeys?)

As this is a very fundamental task I am especially trying to find a better way of minimizing windows via the mouse.

For minimizing via keyboard I am using:
Code:

; convenience for minimizing the active window
appskey::
{
WinMinimize, A
return
}

I don't usually minimize a specific window. I'll either switch applications (mouse on taskbar, alt-tab, win + tab, etc...) or minimize all windows to get to the desktop using a quick launch shortcut.

In the meantime I have also mouse gesture solutions:
a) right mouse click.down.left -> minimizes active window
b) right mouse click.down.right -> closes active window = alt-f4
