Bug Description

I find the Activities Overview very useful as especially when I have many windows open I can just easily go into it to switch between or close some.
However there is something I feel is lacking there: the ability to change the minimized state of the windows.

What I would really like to see would be the ability to:

 1. Differentiate between windows which are minimized and which are not
 2. To be able to easily change whether a window is minimized or not as easily as with closing them

I don't know about the second request, but I've definitely seen others asking for the first. I am running Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 with GNOME 3.20 and I would really love to see these features in the next GNOME version.
