This problem vexed me for days and I FINALLY FOUND AN ACCEPTABLE (imho) WORKAROUND! (assuming you are using gnome-shell)

First, click this link:

https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/442/drop-down-terminal/

Then, enable drop-down-terminal and apply your personal settings via the settings UI.

Voila! the tilde key (or whatever key is above tab on your keyboard) is now your shortcut for gnome-terminal! (unless you set it to something else)

This (under any other circumstances completely redundant) extension made my day, I hope it helps you too.
