For showing and hiding with a global keyword, couldn't you rely on your DE/WM to handle that for you?

Sorry, DE/WM? I assume WM is Window Manager, but can't think of what DE is, except Desktop something?

I'm using macOS and unfortunately not familiar with how I'd do that, but I'm sure it would be easy with something like i3wm on linux (which I still miss after moving away from linux 3 years ago :/), but I don't know what I could use in macOS.

Maybe I could find some third-party solution just to show/hide a particular application. I think if I had that + if I could figure out tabbing/tiling behaviour of Kitty, I would switch to it. Those two things are the main things that I need from iterm.

You can run a tiling window manager like i3 and xmonad on macOS! See:
