i too, define a theme-specific bang bound to a hotkey.
it !ToggleModules and resizes the desktop area for no reason at all. i don't even use this hotkey... anyway,

so there's no possibility of something like this?

OnAutoHideModules !doMyBidding
OnAutoShowModules !bleehaho

it could implicitly !hidemodules/!showmodules, or not.
it sounds like a good idea for hotspots, but i would have thought it would toggle ckhotspots..
