In Ubuntu 14 work for me

Ctrl + Super + Up to maximize.

Ctrl + Super + Down to minimize.


Super aka Windows Key

Try that:

Alt + F9 Minimize current window.

Alt + F10 Maximize the current window.

If you prefer to create custom shortcuts see this article.

Edit:

Go to: Applications > System Tools > System Settings > Keyboards > Shortcuts. Choose the Navigation option, then just add. Or:

In Ubuntu 20.04 and above:

Keystrokes Command
Super+  or  Alt+F10 maximize the current window (if not maximized)
unmaximize the current window (if maximized) * see note
Super+  or  Alt+F9 minimize the current window

* If a window is maximized, the same keyboard shortcut used to maximize a window will instead restore the window to its original unmaximized size.

Ubuntu 20.04:  Maximize and unmaximize a window

I agree with the comment by https://superuser.com/a/1776234/1794113, it worked for me.

The commands SUPER(WinKey) + D and Ctrl + Alt + D are used to minimize or maximize windows previously displayed ("show Desktop"). You can try that out with several windows maximized.

The command SUPER + H is used to minimize a single window ("hide window").

If you want to hide the current displayed content in a monitor, you can use SUPER + PgDown or SUPER + PgUp to bring it back up. As far as I know, this only works in the main display.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a keyboard shortcut to maximize all windows. That would be very useful. The most approximate solution for this would be maybe using SUPER + H and then Alt + TAB or SUPER + TAB to maximize the latest window.

Additional: This command may be useful, too: Shift + SUPER + sideArrow. It will move an opened window into another monitor.

Under Ubunutu 22.04,

In Settings > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > Windows

Super + Up : Maximize window

Super + H : Hide window

Then Hide window stands for minimize here.
