Thank you Daniel for Hide Minimized.

The downside: Switching to/restoring a minimized window is tedious. The only way (that I know) is to locate the app in the Dock. On a multi screen monitor that means a long mouse trip.

Any chance to allow "Alt" + "`" (backtick) combination to keep showing all windows of the current application, including the minimized, please?

The only alternative (that I know of) for multi window applications (browsers, VS Code...) is not to hide such a window, but to keep the behind a front window of the same application (on the same screen). Then I can still use "Alt" + "`" to switch.

But, then I'm not hiding anything (or much less so), so then I don't need this extension...

This extension is really simple and the only thing that it does is to remove the minimized windows from the array of windows in the getWindows method: https://github.com/danigm/hide-minimized/blob/master/extension.js#L28

It could be possible to show the windows depending of the keys, or maybe we can add some key combinations to enable / disable easily.
