What would be the best way of going about hiding the taskbar and only making it visible by using a hotkey?

AutoHotkey maybe?

I've started using auto-hide since I like having my taskbar on the right side and it would be nice to decrease the impact on screen real estate of doing this.

If you unlock it it'll minimise until a mouse over, which is probably the simplest solution (that you're already using).

It will only minimise if it's on autohide.  I think the OP wants some sort of hot key instead of the autohide.

But what's the point?
It minimises automatically (and almost immediately) until you mouse over the bottom of the browser window.

Indeed, that is more what I had in mind
