I had some issues with this too. I got it working by adding this at the end 
of my config.py file:

##############################################################################
# Scratchpad
groups.append(ScratchPad("scratchpad", [
                DropDown("term", "alacritty",
                         on_focus_lost_hide=True),
                      ]),
          )

keys.extend([Key([], 'F12', 
lazy.group['scratchpad'].dropdown_toggle("term")),])
