Sounds like you'd like a power launcher style workflow like KRunner or Rofi. Instead of hitting the meta key to bring up the start menu and search for the app you need, bind a key to KRunner or Rofi and invoke the app you want directly. These solutions also natively integrate file search, web search, quickly toggling settings, do in-place calculations etc.

Psst... KDE's launcher search is the same search as KRunner, just in the launcher! So you don't need to make any changes at all for a "hit command, start typing" workflow.

(yeah we call it the command key, we come from Mac, but I like 'command'/「⌘」 and it doesn't have to be apple-specific :3)
