Thank you. The "background mode" of Konsole also hides the Konsole icon in the
taskbar when Konsole is not visible (and possibly achieves other objectives).
It's the way of working of Yakuake, Kuake, Guake, Tilda, the "terminal
emulator" present in Quake and other games, etc. That way of working is so
useful that [Konsole users asked it to Robert
Knight](https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=320783#c1).

Once you get used to it, is saves a lot of time, it's similar to having another
monitor only to run Konsole, and seeing it when you want (pressing the hotkey).
Some advantages are written in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=320783#c6
