Option do assign a shortcut for docked window
It would be great to be able do assign keyboard shortcut for a docked window. Now we can do it in KDE window rules, but the shortcut is inactive once the window is hidden.
I don't know what's wrong but that should work - and I think it does start to work. However, KDocker docks it straight back before the window fully appears. I've tested and seen a similar effect (using Firefox window as target) by opening 'System Activity', right-clicking on Firefox and 'Show Application Window'. The window appeared, faintly, then went away. (Often you see nothing.) Similarly, if you have wmctrl package installed, this should also work (and almost does):
wmctrl -a 'Mozilla Firefox'
If anyone knows how it might be fixed, please comment.
You would have to specify the shortcut with a (not yet implemented) cli option. KDocker instances a new process for every docked window. To avoid automatic re-docking, you can use some other cli options. See the existing options with kdocker -h.
The lack of support of key bindings is what led me to create ktrayshortcut, but I don't have time to maintain it and could not find time to port it to KF5 yet. I'd love to see kdocker supporting global key bindings for toggling the windows...
I realized I actually didn't miss support for tray icons, just global hotkeys to toggle the windows, so I created this application:

I'm posting here in case it fits the needs of other people looking at this issue...
