Is there a way to hide and unhide the Contextual Tool Bar with a simple keyboard shortcut?

No, you cannot assign a shortcut to the Contextual Taskbar in Photoshop. What you can do is to move it and then use the options on the far left to Pin it so it’s out of your way.

I agree 100%!

Please go to the Photoshop forum. After you choose “Create a Post”, click “Request a Feature” where the Photoshop team will see and track it. I’ll upvote it!

p.s. and if you’re asking about Photoshop, then yes: go to Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts and assign the desired shortcut to the Window > Contextual Task Bar menu.
