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.

Interesting... There's a comment here by @HelloRoot@lemy.lol, so perhaps your instance doesn't federate with lemy.lol?

In their comment they suggested this command:

bash -c 'pgrep -x keepassxc > /dev/null && keepassxc --auto-type || keepassxc'
