Shortcuts

I am new to MacOS. There are many features/keyboard shortcuts that I think Windows does better than MacOS. I miss the keyboard shortcut: Win + D = Minimize/Hide all apps. In MacOS, the keyboard shortcut for this action is more complicated: Command + Option + H + M. I think the "Shortcuts" app can do the trick, but it turns out to be too difficult for people that are not programmers such as me. Can anyone help me to make a keyboard shortcut: Command + D to hide all apps, by using the "Shortcuts" app? Basically I just want to press Command + D to minimize/hide all apps. Or, teach me how to alter Command + Option + H + M into Command + D via System Setting? Like, I was able to change Shift + Command + 5 into shift + Command + S to take screenshot, via Setting>Keyboard>Shortcuts. But I couldn't find the option for Hide all apps

Create keyboard shortcuts for apps on Mac - Apple Support

cmd-opt-H-M is not a shortcut.

Cmd-opt-H hides other apps

Cmd-M minimizes the current window.

When you do them in sequence, you hide others and minimize the current--it isn't hidden.
