    Shortcut key to raise/lower taskbar


    Is there is a key press that toggles the appearance of the taskbar without minimizing all open windows? WinKey behavior would be perfect if it were not for the 'Show Desktop' side-effect.
    It is important too that the taskbar not respond to the mouse -- that it appears only when requested by the key. The autohide feature is nice but for my usage it is far too responsive to the mouse hover.
    Thanks

    :)

    keyboard issue (w10-Sp2)

    hi,

    i recently noticed that i can't switch keyboard types.

    - my shortcut key in the lower right corner of visual kb is inactive...

    - i've tried everything i could in the parameters without success.

    - i also ended up adding a shortcut to full keyboard in the taskbar...

    - when login in, the full keyboard is greyed out, but not the separated keyboard.

    -i can't switch languages either, the shortcut icon has disappeared as well, i've checked the option it's activated.

    can anyone help please ?

    Shortcut key to raise/lower taskbar

    Hi, you could explore creating a very small Autohotkey script (free).

    This is ideal for defining hotkeys, as well as much more.

    Results if you search thus:
    autohotkey hide show taskbar

    Old example - may still be valid:
