I work the same way and having a keyboard shortcut set for each one of my Apps has been game changing for me. Worth trying out to see if it fits your flow:

That's a great idea, especially with my programmable keyboard, thank you. I'll have to see if KDE supports this, but I think it's likely.

EDIT: Turns out it's trivial, I love Linux:

KDE's window manager, Kwin, supports this functionality built it.

Just right click on any title bar on a window, go to "Special Application Settings" -> "Arrangement and access" -> "Shortcut". You can manually type "F8" in the shortcut and it'll work just fine.

You can also go to "System Settings" -> "Window Rules" to manage all rules you've defined.

That settings dialog is a lifesaver, thank you. I've been using devilspie2 to do the same, but now I can do it natively.
