I have a solution!
First, I want to apologize if I say something wrong as English is not my native language.
I’m using Windows 11 (and maybe this works on Windows 10) and when I want to hide the program that is open I press the keys (Win) + (Tab) and move Local to another desktop and go back to working on the main one.
Hope this helps someone. I created an account just to reply to this thread hahaha
Hello @fabriziofeitosa thanks for sharing. I have been using the same solution in Windows 10. However, this creates a need for back and forth switching of windows when I need to access Local settings. Also with 4+ desktops already, it’s a search to figure out which Window I place Local in.
It would be nice to have that feature on Linux too. 
Also, can we change the title to make it reflect other operating sustems, not just WIndows?
Hi @junglized! Thank you for your comment! It looks like the majority of users in the thread are specifically talking about Windows but we will keep other OSes in mind to reach as broad a group as possible when investigating this request further.
+1 for this feature request. I’d really like to get rid of the Local window when tabbing between different windows.
+1
Would be really nice if we can minimize to tray. The amount of times I accidently closed Local by clicking on the X… 
Hey, everybody.
I wrote a little add-on that does just that.
I’ve had this working for a few months now without any problems.
I’ve only templated it on Windows, but it will most likely work on Mac as well.
I’d be glad if this helps anyone else. 
Thank you for sharing @SumoTTo!
I tried your add-on and it works on Windows 10! Thank you for making this and sharing it with the rest of us. <3
