Minimize one, single window in Windows 7 with keyboard shortcut

Question

I'm after a way to minimize the active window in Windows with a keyboard shortcut, just like cmd + m works on my Mac.

Answer 1

Using the Windows Key + Down Arrow.

Update: If the window is Maximized, it will first go "Un-maximized" then a second Win + Down Arrow will Minimize.

Here is a link to all of the Windows Key Shortcuts available in Windows 7.

Answer 2

Minimizing single window is not possible via simple shortcut. However, you can use combination of two shortcuts Alt+Space followed by letter N.

Pressing Alt+Space opens the context menu for the current window and the keyboard mapping of the Minimize option is 'n'.
