MacOS – How to enable slow genie effect in macOS 10.13 High Sierra

high sierramacosminimize

In the past, we can hold shift and press minimize button to get slow genie effect. But in macOS 10.13 High Sierra, I can't use this trick anymore. How to enable this feature?

Thanks to @etaionshrd on Reddit we have this Terminal command:

defaults write com.apple.dock slow-motion-allowed -bool true && killall Dock

If it doesn't work, try copy-pasting it. There is no auto-correct in Terminal and spelling counts. Works for me macOS 10.13.2 High Sierra.
