I have implemented a shortcut to minimizeToNotificationArea with autohotkey, code as follows:

} else {
}
return

The globalSummon action should work even when minimized to the notification area.

Is it possible that some other program has already bound that hotkey? Can you try binding a different keybinding in the settings, just to see what happens?

Also, can you try a build of the Terminal from this year/? 1.17 is literally 18 months old 😄

Thank you very much for your quick response. It's my fault; I've been looking for such an operation, and I didn't expect it to have been implemented.
I have already achieved my idea by following the operations as follows.

        {
            "command": {
                "action": "globalSummon",
                "toggleVisibility": true
            },
            "keys": "ctrl+`"
