Visor mode

[GoogleCodeExporter]

i know that its maybe not within the scope of mintty, but i would love a
visor mode like http://visor.binaryage.com/.

maybe something like this already exists through an external tool?

Another example of this is sort of thing is Yakuake for KDE.

I guess a fair number people would find this useful, but I don't think I'll get 
round 
to implementing this within mintty any time soon. However, I suspect this could 
be done 
with the help of AutoHotKeys or similar, although I'm afraid I've got no idea 
how.

you're right, it can be done with autohotkey.

the attached script triggers an existing mintty window with windows + ^. (i'm no
expert with autohotkey though...)
