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.

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.
