1) there is a switch to vte keybinding which defaults to F4, if you don't have 
VTE it won't work, `Help->Keyboard Shortcuts` is your friend.

The VTE is a tab in the message window, and toggle message window is a 
keybinding (though with no default) you can set it to anything.

If its not present in your home built Geany its likely that its because you 
didn't have the _development_ package for VTE installed, or its the wrong 
version, if only people would **read** the output of `configure` instead of 
automatically charging on to `make` :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: 

2) why do you want to hide it? its a message window tab, if you don't want it, 
don't show the message window or show another tab

3) geany plugins is just a collection, the plugins present to geany 
individually so there is no geany-plugins version to show.  And geany-plugins 
is not the only place plugins come from, so they have to be treated 
individually.  Plugins are never loaded unless enabled in the plugin manager 
dialog so plugins that conflict or bad plugins that cause crashes can be 
excluded by not enabling them.  Just look in the plugin manager `Tools->Plugin 
Manager` to see which plugins are available since it also tests version 
compatibility between Geany and plugins and lets plugins check their 
dependencies and does not show or greys out plugins that can't be used.

If the geany and geany-plugins are in a different (but same) prefix and the 
plugins are not shown in the plugin manager did you build them setting 
--with-geany-libdir to the right place? The libdir default is fixed, not 
${prefix}/lib as one might hope.
