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)

Set the custom keyboard shortcut sh -c 'pgrep -i keepassxc > /dev/null || keepassxc' to Alt+V
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.

Actually, this code didn't work after all! It brings up the autotype window once, but then it brings up the main window thereafter...
