tl;dr
This post shows the list of default shortcuts for Ubuntu 16.04. You can directly check this via System Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts
on your machine.
Here is a notable issue: Even though your settings say that, for example, ctrl alt 0
does “minimize window”, ctrl alt KP0
will do the job instead. Note that the symbol KP0
refers to “Keypad number 0”.
