Is there a direct shortcut for maximizing/minimizing/restoring current window in Windows (10)?
I know I can press Alt+Space and then use the arrows to navigate and select, but I looking for a direct shortcut.

From Windows Help:
Win+D Display the desktop.
Win+M Minimize all windows.
Win+Shift+M Restore minimized windows to the desktop.
Win+↑ Maximize the window.
Win+← Maximize the window to the left side of the screen.
Win+→ Maximize the window to the right side of the screen.
Win+↓ Minimize the window.
Win+Home Minimize all but the active window.
Win+Shift+↑ Stretch the window to the top and bottom of the screen.

Currently as per my experience in Windows 10:
Restore Down The Maximized Window OR Minimize The Restored Window
Win + Down Arrow
Minimize The Maximized Window
Win + Down Arrow (twice)
Maximize The Restored Window
Win + Up Arrow

I'd just edit the 'Windows Help' and make it a link. – Shimmy – 2015-10-19T08:45:47.477
3The Win+Down was a new one to me. I have always used Alt+Space,
n(becausenis the hotkey for Minimize), but this is language-dependent. – a CVn – 2015-10-19T08:49:10.3833Win+Down doesn't minimize a maximized window to tray directly, it first "unsnaps" the window, you have to press again for the window to be minimized to tray. – mtness – 2017-08-30T11:46:17.803
^^ This. and then if you double-tap the down-arrow, it means it will only restore back to a floating-window. Wish there was a single-tap combo to always minimise. – Hicsy – 2018-11-03T01:21:33.197
A quick edit with the same commands for Linux would be greatly appreciated here. – Darkov – 2019-10-09T09:32:47.260
