I want to minimize/unminimize my Konsole with a shortcut key for example "F1".
Just like tilda do, but all I want is the shortcut key function.
I found a way to add a global shortcut key in KDE control center and I can bind a key with a script or a dbus command.
However, I don't know how to toggle minimize/unminimize a program with a script or a dbus command.
Does someone have a idea? Thx!

Maybe just use yakuake.
What you describe is often called "run or raise". I found this thread after a quick search:

Looks like you can use wmctrl to interact with the window manager. Never used it myself through.
Btw, kwin allows window shortcuts to raise a specific window, but not the same key to minimize:

If you follow the links you might land there (alternative to wmctrl):

Thank you, Yggdrasil! I also find the shortcuts to raise a specific window before.
Now I found the way to "run or raise" my Konsole now via xdotool.
I wrote a Script to do these work. Simply using toggleWindow WINDOWCLASS to toggle a window with specified class.
Here is my script:
#!/bin/bash
#filename:toggleWindow
#Written by bbq
#Mon Apr 16 20:04:12 CST 2012
#Usage: toggleWindow WINDOWCLASS
#check if has an given window
if [[ -z "$1" ]]
then
echo -e "USAGE: toggleWindow WINDOWCLASS\nAborting...\n"
exit
fi
#check if the xdotool is installed
hash xdotool 2>/dev/null || { echo -e >&2 "I require xdotool but it's not installed. Please install it first!\n Aborting.\n"; exit 1; }
activeWin=`xdotool getactivewindow`
searchList=`xdotool search --class $1`
if [[ -z "$searchList" ]]
then
echo "No windows found. Exit"
exit
fi
echo `echo $searchList | grep $activeWin`
if [[ `echo $searchList | grep $activeWin` ]]
then
for i in $searchList
do
xdotool windowminimize $i
done
echo minimized $1
else
for i in $searchList
do
xdotool windowactivate $i
done
echo raised $1
