Helo, why there is no ALT+F10 (maximize) or ALT+F9(minimize) shotcut in ubuntu 12.04? Or can i enable them somewhere?

On the behalf of those who have to make a living using an IDE which grabs a lot of keys: Dear Canonical - please, only steal key combinations involving "Super" (the Windows key). You are making the life of power users miserable. If you MUST, then make it possible to undo these in the standard Settings dialogue.– Thorbjørn Ravn AndersenOct 5, 2017 at 13:14

If you are on unity, then click the cog in the upper- right corner and choose System Settings
Now find the Keyboard
entry, there you will be able to edit all your shortcuts.
You are looking for Maximize window
and Minimize window
they can be found under Windows
. Just set the shortcut to whatever you want it to be.

1In 13.04, Maximize window has been changed to Ctrl+Super+Up. Sep 8, 2013 at 19:46
There is already a bugreport: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/955965
this solution worked for me (comment #3)
Unity design has decided to use Alt+F10 to show menus starting in Ubuntu 12.04. This >means you can no longer use Alt+F10 to maximize a window.
WORKAROUND 1: 1. Run "ccsm" and go to General Options > Key Bindings. 2. Scroll down to "Maximize Window" (or "Toggle Window Maximized") and change the >keyboard shortcut.
WORKAROUND 2 (should work, but doesn't seem to!?): 1. Run "ccsm" and go to Ubuntu Unity Plugin >Behaviour. 2. Disable "Key to open first panel menu" (Alt+F10).

1Workaround 2 "Run "ccsm" and go to Ubuntu Unity Plugin >Behaviour. 2. Disable "Key to open first panel menu" (Alt+F10)." works for me in 14.04 Apr 8, 2015 at 15:32
The default minimize key seems to be ctrl+alt+numpad 0
(see: Why don't Unity's window placement shortcuts work?)
for maximize ctrl+super+↑
You can maximize windows by Super+̣↑ and minimize by Ctrl+Super+̣↓.
For more keyboard shortcuts hold down Super or take a look at System Settings
→ Keyboard
→ Shortcuts
→ Windows
.
There you also can re-enable the old behaviour, but you have do disable the F10 keybinding first, which is described here.

Just hold 2-3 sec. Super-Key and you will get a pop-up window with supported shortcuts
Real working solution is in here https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=129872 and then htop or mc works as before!
