It would sure make taking screenshots a lot easier. I realize that I could simply unload the plugins in question, but sometimes I'm trying to capture something in a split second and...well...you get the idea.

Thanks in advance, and please keep up the awesome work!

I think that's a fair request - and to help out, below is an example of how to do so:

self.KeyDown = function(sender,args)
     if (args.Action == 268435635)then
          if(self.myPlugin:IsVisible()==true)then
               self.myPlugin:SetVisible(false)
          else
               self.myPlugin:SetVisible(true)
          end
     end
end

In this example "myPlugin" would obviously be the main window that your plugin is displayed in, and the code would exist in whatever class you generated this window in.

Now, for both the OP and other authors, there is one caveat. The action alone only tells the author whether someone has pressed the key that shows/hides the UI, with no information pertaining to the actual state of the UI at the time. Now with this (unlike UI positioning) it isn't so bad, as it is unlikely that someone would be able to load a plugin with the UI hidden. Even still, the author should provide some option to assist the user in "syncing" the plugin with the game.
