Add keybind to toggle taskbar (&/or toggle taskbar auto-hide

[leighss]

Hi!

Love ExplorerPatcher - Thanks!

In my linux i3 (Dualboot with Win 11) I have a keybind to toggle the bar

The same here would be great - I find the auto-hide annoying as its easy to accidentally show the bar (e.g. when moving to change browser tabs)

Thanks!
However, ....
The turn on shortcut works for me but not the turn off one

I cant see any difference between the two code boxes for them both:

Turn on:

powershell -command "&{$p='HKCU:SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects3';$v=(Get-ItemProperty -Path $p).Settings;$v[8]=3;&Set-ItemProperty -Path $p -Name Settings -Value $v;&Stop-Process -f -ProcessName explorer}"

Turn off:

powershell -command "&{$p='HKCU:SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects3';$v=(Get-ItemProperty -Path $p).Settings;$v[8]=2;&Set-ItemProperty -Path $p -Name Settings -Value $v;&Stop-Process -f -ProcessName explorer}"

is (this a copy paste?) typo?

or am I missing something obvious?

you gotta figure that part out yourself

Oh - I just noticed they are different:
Settings;$v[8]=3 vs Settings;$v[8]=2
But the turn off one doesn't work, and I know nothing about Windows Powershell.
