Outside of using the "Right-click desktop > Arrange icons by > deselect Show Desktop Icons", I do not know of any native keyboard shortcuts to display/hide the desktop icons.

There are various third party programs that might have this function built in, or you might be able to write a script that would use a key to toggle the icons.

Sorry, I am not a coder, so do not know what script would be adequate.
