Show/Hide on keybind and on notification?

[slackhead]

Hi

I would like to be able to show/hide tint3 with a key and I'd also like to have it popup when there is a bell or urgent/new window on another workspace. Something like i3bar does in i3wm.

I'm using fluxboix. Is any of this possible?

Hi, I think this is doable by adding the capability to show/hide the panel on a given signal, which is relatively easy to do. The latter capability (autoshowing on workspace activity) would need more work though.

Since I'm not an i3wm user -- can you give me an example of how this is configured for i3bar?

In i3bar the hidden bar will show on windows key down, if you bind Win-h to move to the left window, that will let you see what is on the left before press h. This is similar to microsoft windows.

There are many panels that support autohide, but none of them has the described behavior. I have a similar feature request for lxqt-panel: to show the panel on window key down event and hide it on windows key up event.
