--- Comment #3 from Piotr Dobrogost <bugs.kde....@p.dobrogost.net> ---
I was just looking for this feature, too.
I asked about this at
https://discuss.kde.org/t/keyboard-shortcut-to-minimize-all-windows-but-the-current-focused-one-so-called-shake-it-action/32061?u=piotr_dobrogost
As described in the above post it's especially useful when using tiling window
manager (Krohnkite in my case) because by minimizing all but focused window the
focused one automatically gets "maximized" without actually changing its state
to `maximized`. This is very nice because Krohnkite does not tile windows in
`maximized` state (I guess other managers do the same) so this essentially
makes it possible to "maximize" window and have it still managed by Krohnkite.
It's then possible to again have this "maximized" windows tiled with some other
window by simply switching to this other window – no need to first unmaximize
to get the window to be tillable again.

I suggested to add this directly to Krohnkite at
https://github.com/anametologin/krohnkite/issues/151 but this was rejected with
the reply
"Krohnkite arrange visible windows only, it doesn't Kwin minimize, maximize,
close or any other way influence on windows beside change its size. Suggested
feature is useful maybe but related rather to Kwin not Krohnkite."

I'm eagerly waiting for it in KWin, then ;)

Btw, thread on this subject from 2009 –
