Show/Hide Taskbar when key is pressed #1239

Why?

I hate Windows default autohide taskbar behaviour, as I use editing software (like Adobe Premiere) I like to use all the space in my screen to show everything that I need without any distractions, but is horrible that everytime I place my cursor near where the taskbar would be, it just pops up e make me lose time and focus for no reason.

How?

If a key is pressed (Windows Key, for example) the taskbar shows up just like when we hover above it. The taskbar will keep showing 'till we press the key again, so when I click on the Start button to show the Start menu, and then click it outside of it (to hide the Start menu) the taskbar still keeps showing. The taskbar will only hide itself after we press the configured key again.

That's a mod idea that I think a lot of people that like to have more space but hate how Windows taskbar autohide works will love it!

Thanks.
