I would like to see an emulated touchbar on my iMac.
I randomly pressed the shotcut for it, but I don't know, which it was and I couldn't find it one the internet either. Btw., I don't use an Apple keyboard, so i.e. the fn key is missing.

Many applications like Terminal also have a menu item like Window > Cycle Through Windows. It stays assigned to ⌘` even if you change the shortcut in the Keyboard & Text Input preferences.
You could add a custom shortcut for Cycle Through Windows in the Application Shortcuts preferences, or disable it with defaults write -g NSUserKeyEquivalents -dict-add "Cycle Through Windows" nul.
You could also force TotalTerminal to use ⌘` by editing ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Terminal.plist directly.
<key>ToggleVisor</key>
<dict>
<key>KeyCode</key>
<integer>50</integer>
<key>Modifiers</key>
<integer>9437184</integer>
</dict>
On my installation of 10.9 the shortcut can still be changed from System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Keyboard > Move focus to next window:
I don't think it was ever possible to change command-tab to another shortcut though.
