Bug Description

It looks like the hide_window keybinding only works under X11.

in terminatorlib/window.py it checks to see if display_manager() is X11, and if not, does not bind the key.

Interestingly, when I alter the code to check if display_manager() is WAYLAND, the Keybinder.bind() call results in a segmentation fault.

Yeah, Keybinder is X11 specific. The X11 check was specifically to stop Terminator crashes at startup. If someone can point to a way to create a global keybinding under Wayland with Python, then of course we would try to add it back in. Until then it's just one of those things from living on the edge.
