Peace all!

Request yakuake/quake-like toggle functionality for all windows.

We can already raise a window by setting a window shortcut via..
window context menu>Advanced>Set Window Shortcut

However, this functionality can be made more "usable" by introducing a the ability to hide it using the same key. This is what makes yakuake/quake terminals so accessible for easy monitoring without disrupting workflow.

Imagine you have konsole buried among a million other windows. Pressing tilda enables you to raise it. To go back to the previous window, you have to alt-tab. This is comparatively slower especially for monitoring. Worse, this messes up your alt-tab simply because you decide to glance at your terminal.

I have raised this as a feature below but was ultimately rejected as a "featuritis".

However, its only probably because I hadn't placed my case well enough and also due to the lack of votes/support.

What do you guys think?
