Two workarounds for macOS:

  1. Apptivate (free app) to set a shortcut for toggling the main app’s visibility → this is actually what I’m using
  2. Using macOS native app shortcut on the “Minimize” menu position: Create keyboard shortcuts for apps on Mac – Apple Support (AU) (though there seems to be no way to maximise it using this method)

+1 for this… would also love to see Quick Note pop the app back up from minimized system tray status.

I have just downloaded Traymond and it does the job. (Shortcut: “Windows Key+Shift+Z”)

New to Obsidian and the lack of a global hotkey to show/hide the app would be a deal breaker for me. Fortunately this is easy to achieve on MacOS using Keyboard Maestro:

    Need similar features, like it was made in a Flashnote

Feature “Minimize Obsidian App to tray on close” is very useful.
Evernote and other similar programms are able to do it.

Thanks for “alltray” tip!

Obsidian has a plugin called “Global Hotkeys” which is supposed to provide OS-level hotkeys to Obsidian actions…not sure if it works on Mac (haven’t checked yet). Might be another option for folks.
