Keyboard shortcut to unhide or unminimize a window in OS X
Problem
I know how to Hide ( ) or Minimize ( ) a focused window in OS X, but I can't find a keyboard shortcut or even a menu item to restore, unhide, unminimize, or otherwise show a window that I've hidden or minimized. Anyone have a suggestion?

Fix for: Keyboard shortcut to unhide or unminimize a window in OS X
This way requires a bit of practice: press ⌘ ⇥ (Command-Tab) to show your running apps. Keep holding ⌘. press ⇥ until you've selected the minimized app press the ⌥ (Option) key, and let go of the ⌘ key. You must release the Command key after pressing the Option key! Note that this only works for an app with all of its windows minimized. If there is already a visible window of the app you won't be able to get to the minimized one with this trick.
