I like the idea of being able to hide the dock and use as much screen space as possible, but I get really anoyed with the default bahaviour of the "Auto-hide dock" option. Sometimes I hover the pointer over the dock space, and it just won't show up, so I have to keep repeating this action until it slides in.

I'd like to bind a key to hide or show the dock (something like a switch key) instead of having to hover the cursor over it to do so. Can someone help me?

PS: If I could use a mouse macro to do so would be even better.

Does this answer your question? How can I hide/show the Ubuntu dock with a keyboard shortcut? – pomsky Aug 01 '20 at 22:25
Not sure how to configure a custom key but a single press/release of the Super key should achieve what you want (the Windows key by default on most "Windows" keyboards). – codlord Aug 01 '20 at 22:40
@pomsky sort of. I want the dock to behave somewhat like that, but with a specific keybind to show/hide it. The super + q combination slides the dock in, but I don't want those numbers on it (that "select and lauch" feature). Also, when I press super + q, the dock closes after some seconds. I want something more like a "switch" key bind. – sandmann Aug 01 '20 at 22:51
That's the best you can get for now afaik. – pomsky Aug 01 '20 at 22:57
