[Feature request] add option to toggle hide
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'd like to use a key shortcut to toggle the visibility of the panel, like in i3 or qtile.
Describe the solution you'd like
Add an option (like -t --toggle) so that running lxqt-panel -t should hide
any running panel if visible and vice versa. Maybe only make this work if auto-hide
is disabled.
Describe eventual alternatives you've considered
I currently use xdotool to toggle the visibility, but this solution is sort of a hack and doesn't use lxqt's hide animation.
Context
I don't like panels taking up space meant for windows and so I try to hide them using whatever way is possible. Problem is that the panel tends to show up whenever I inadvertently hit the edge. Using a hotkey combination instead is much better.
Qtile can hide its own bar.
Just wondering if we could that expose to dbus "panel show/hide".
