Description

Hi everybody,

That's great we the users of KeePassX have a new dev team for the app!

It would be nice to have an Option called Toggle Window Visibility binded to a global key combination (like the auto-complete) to bring the main window to front and to minimize it with the same key combination. If the minimize-to-tray option is enabled, the minimize action of this option should minimize the window to tray.

To give this issues a higher priority, I'm willing to contribute economically. Those who could implement it please specify how much should be collected and I could contribute to the implementation on bountysource.com or your crowdfunding site of preference.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement a global hotkey listener that toggles the main window's visibility. When minimizing, check if 'minimize to tray' is enabled, then hide to tray instead of taskbar. Use platform specific APIs (e.g., UIOperation on macOS, QHotkey library or X11 on Linux, and RegisterHotKey on Windows).
