My dock looks like this (It contains the dialogs on the right of Inkscape):

enter image description here

Is there a keyboard shortcut that will show and hide it. We have the dialog shortcuts here:

https://inkscape.org/sk/doc/keys.html

Also if we are only looking at a specific toolset dialog, like Align and Distribute. How do we hide that dialog using the keys?

    F12 toggles show/hide dialogs. It's shown on the page you linked to. There's no shortcut for hiding individual dialogs.
