Is there any way to bring up the keepassX window when the application is started but the window is hidden? I mean that the application is running but only the icon in the notification area is visible. Is there any way to do this? Is there any way to configure a shortcut?

Not strictly an answer for KeepassX and kind of a workaround...
I tend to use xdotool in those cases, it's great for window tinkering and automation.
You could do something like xdotool search --name keepassX windowactivate
Just make sure --name is the same as the window title.
And then make a keyboard shortcut to that command or put it in Keepass's launcher.

Works for me: xdotool search --onlyvisible --name "DatabaseName - KeePassX" windowactivate (if the database was named) or xdotool search --onlyvisible --name "FileName.extension - KeePassX" windowactivate – mkczyk – 2018-09-20T08:18:52.417
What about toggle window (activate/minimize)? https://superuser.com/questions/1369564/keyboard-shortcut-for-toggle-window-activate-minimize

Which Desktop Environment are you using? Gnome? Unity? KDE? Xfce? Cinnamon? – terdon – 2013-06-10T19:33:50.863
