Bug Description

It'd be great if users could toggle the visibility of Terminator via the command line.

As a workaround, since I have Ctrl+Space assigned to it, I use

    xdotool key --clearmodifiers ctrl+space

However, this is a bit buggy with independent xkb layouts for different keyboards, set by xorg.conf. It'd be great to have a direct way to toggle visibility instead.

Hint for anyone who wants to give it a go. It should be a fairly simple exercise to add it:
remotinator - Uses dbus to command terminator.
terminatorlib/ipc.py - The dbus guts.
