My config

***
I place "Konsole" to "Task Manager" position 3 in panel, see "TaskManager01.jpg".
When I press Meta+3 the "Konsole" will start. But if "Konsole" has focus, it will be minimized.

Can you please add a configuration to remove the minimization. I want to bring always "Konsole" to foreground, independent if "Konsole" has focus or not.
***

SUMMARY
When I press the key (Meta+3) for "Konsole", I want to be sure, that "Konsole" window has focus.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. See "TaskManager01.jpg" for my configuration
2. Press Meta+3 and the "Konsole" will start
3. Press Meta+3 again and the "Konsole" will minimize

OBSERVED RESULT
"Konsole" will minimize, when "Konsole" window has focus

EXPECTED RESULT
"Konsole" will get focus (don't minimize, if "Konsole" has focus)

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 
macOS: 
(available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window)
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
KDE Plasma Version: 
KDE Frameworks Version: 
Qt Version: 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Always focus "Konsole" window, don't minimize if "Konsole" has focus.
When I press the key for "Konsole", I want to be sure that "Konsole" window has focus and I can enter my commands in "Konsole" without first check if "Console" widow has been minimized...

Does unchecking "Clicking active task: [ ] Minimizes the task" in Configure Icon-Only Task Manager… > Behavior do what you want?
