Hi Kashvi,
Ya, you can do that, but from my perspective, i don't think this is a very practical way to enable/disable TTB using bindkey. And since TTB is enble using form, it will facing some difficulty in dealing with the form. Maybe other expert can help on this :-)
I create a simple skill code for this, you can have try.

procedure( howEnableTTB()
    if( boundp('TTBForm) then   ;read global variable for TTB form
        if( TTBForm && TTBForm->_formName == "Toolbox Options" then
            if( TTBForm->leTbEnableToolbox->value
                TTBForm->leTbEnableToolbox->value = nil
                TTBForm->leTbEnableToolbox->value = t
            );if
            hiFormDone(TTBForm)
        else
                leHiEditTbOptions()                    ;Instantiate the form for 1st time
                TTBForm = hiGetCurrentForm()
            );if
        else
            leHiEditTbOptions()                   ; Instantiate the form for 1st time
            TTBForm = hiGetCurrentForm()
        );if
);proc
hiSetBindKey("Layout" "<Key>a" "howEnableTTB")

Noted: This script needs user to at least instantiate the TTB option's form once in order for the code to works. This is the quick code, i will try to find the better one :P (Beware that the is possible the TTB/other bindkeys will overide the bindkey)
