Feature: hide dock

[gokaygurcan]

Hi,
This is easy thing to do, but there're two questions:

• what will happen if the dock is already hidden?
• what will happen to the window if it's on the screen? (fullscreen or not for example)

Simplest way that I can think of

tell application "System Events"
  keystroke "d" using {command down, option down}
end tell

set dockplistpath to "~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist"

tell application "System Events"
	tell property list file dockplistpath
		tell contents
			set dockishidden to value of property list item "autohide"
		end tell
	end tell
end tell

if dockishidden then
else
	tell application "System Events"
		tell dock preferences to set autohide to not autohide
	end tell
end if

This skript will read the current state of the user's dock settings for the "autohide" setting first and only toggle via simulating the keystroke if it is visible. 👌
