> A single click on its Dock icon does the trick.

Some of us take it personally if we cannot do everything using only the keyboard.

I use a Mac now (because Windows + Windows admins always manage to mess up something and ny current employer doesn't support Linux as wholeheartedly as my last one) and I like it a lot better than last time I used a Mac back in 2009 - 2012 but there is no doubt in my mind that classic Windows UX and several Linux DEs (while not as polished) have much better UX for keyboard people like me.

And yes:

I have used almost every mainstream desktop environment from 1994 - now (except versions of Mac before 2009 and between 2009 and until somewhere a couple of years ago).

It doesn’t help your 1password problem here, but there is a changeable shortcut to put focus on the Dock which then can be navigated with the arrow keys and space/return: (fn) + Control + F3

Must be activated in System Settings → Keyboard → Keyboard Shortcuts → Keyboard.

Those are rather old shortcuts, at least since 2003 or so. But I just found out that Control+F2, which puts the focus in the menu bar, doesn’t seem to work for me. Maybe the builtin display brightness, maybe another app? I changed the shortcut to something custom and now it works.

That's fine but how is that related to how many clicks it takes to bring it back up after it's minimised - which is what this thread is about?

If you want to activate 1Password from the keyboard, minimised or not, just use the global keyboard shortcut ⌘\ .
