Every time I want to minimize or maximize the window, I need to move the mouse to the top left corner and click the minimize button or maximize button. Are there any keyboard shortcuts to minimize or maximize a window in macOS? I referred to What keyboard shortcuts move, resize, and maximize windows under Mac OS X?. It answers how to maximize the window, but it doesn't answer how to minimize it, so it only solves one of my two questions.

I know on Windows there is a hotkey of Windows + ↓ to minimise, is that key or an equivalent using the Apple command key not present in MacOS? – Mokubai Sep 27 '22 at 09:31

Hi @Mokubai, are you saying Cmd ⌘ + ⌄? – My Car Sep 27 '22 at 09:36

If you say Cmd ⌘ + ⌄, I just tried it and it doesn't work – My Car Sep 27 '22 at 09:38

1If ⌄ is your down arrow on the keyboard then yes it is what I mean. I have seen that key combination on Windows and some Linux desktops, I guess MacOS just has to be "different". – Mokubai Sep 27 '22 at 09:44

Looks like macOS is different from the rest – My Car Sep 27 '22 at 09:49

According to https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/mac-help/mchlp2469/mac:
Maximize a window: Double-click the application's title bar to maximize the window (there doesn't appear to be a keyboard shortcut).
Minimize a window: Press Command-M.
