How do I make Alt+V pull up KeePassXC if it's not already open AND trigger its auto-type prompt? (Mint 22.3) (programming.dev)

  1. Set the custom keyboard shortcut sh -c 'pgrep -i keepassxc > /dev/null || keepassxc' to Alt+V
  2. Keep KeePassXC's default autotype prompt keybinding, which is Alt+V

One disables the other. I thought that going the grep route might make the program opener conditionally inactive, but apparently that's not doing anything. I would really like to avoid using a separate keybinding if possible. Otherwise, I guess I'd just have to have it open on launch.

Wow, it works; you're a genius!!! Thanks so much!!! Hmm, Lemmy doesn't seem to have post flair, but it does allow title-editing, so I'll just update the post title, haha.

@HelloRoot@lemy.lol, it is actually failing after all. It only pulls up the auto-type window the first time. Then it only summons the main window from thereafter until it closes...

    Yeah you probably have to play around with the flags to figure out the right approach. I can not look into it right now
