Keyboard shortcuts to launch/switch to apps

Desktop Environments Plasma
1

I want to make a couple custom keyboard shortcuts to open applications I use frequently. I did this with shortcut keys in the KDE Menu Editor but they’re not working exactly how I wanted. Right now they either open a new window (Firefox/Dolphin) or reloads the whole app (Spotify/Steam). Ideally I’d like them to switch to an already open window, or at the very least not reload the app for things like Spotify. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks! Script was a bit beyond my current bash understanding but that thread led me to jumpapp which is perfect.
