[Solved] kill picom with a shortcut

i just wanted to ask if there was a simple way of just killing picom, or any background service if possible, in dwm with a shortcut as i cant find a way of turning of picom normally and i would like to have a way of doing it if i need a fullscreenapp or anything else

Why does unredir-if-possible not work?

You can bind shortcuts in dwm by editing the dwm config.h and add them there.
Binding sth. like "killall picom || picom" will allow a toggle (I'd bind a script and control the details there, esp. until you fiddled out the behavioral details)
