Is there a keyboard shortcut for OSX Mavericks to show all windows, even the minimized or hidden ones for an application?
I hate having to use my mouse to click on the Chrome icon to open my other chrome windows.

The keyboard shortcut to show all windows for an application is Ctrl+Down then switch between these windows using arrow keys.
To change the keys used for the shortcut to whatever you want, go to System Preferences-> Keyboard-> Shortcuts-> Mission Control-> Application Windows.

1Unfortunately, I am really needing a solution that works with minimized windows as well. I wonder if there are any third party apps that help with this? Commented Jul 8, 2014 at 13:45

1In Yosemite Ctrl+Down WILL show minimized windows as well. I just verified it. Commented Aug 30, 2015 at 22:34

2Ctrl+Up shows all windows for all applications. Found this question when trying to figure out how to show all windows, not just for a particular application so thought I'd mention it here for others.– ZachscsCommented Jan 6, 2020 at 3:28
It's under the system preferences for Mission Control: there's a shortcut defined there for "Application windows", currently set to ctrl + down arrow
Works for open and minimised windows for your currently chosen application.
Ctrl + ▲ (up arrow) works on my Mac

You can setup a "hot corner" and select "Application Windows". Also you would see the file history in a banner so that you could also access to your files that are minimised.
