Window title bar shake in Windows 11

In Windows 11, the “window title bar shake” function allows you to click an actively open window on the title bar and shake it from left to right.

When you shake an active window this way, Windows 11 minimizes all other active windows. This is useful, for example, if you want to quickly keep the focus on a window and minimize the rest.

It is a feature that you can enable or disable via the multitasking features in Windows 11. This is how it works.
