I want to open an application (Zotero) with a shortcut in the same way it opens when I click on it in the dock. When I open it from the dock the application recalls the previous changes (window size, position etc.), but if I open it with a shortcut it gets reset to a default each time I use the shortcut.
I have tried both Automator (Launch Application) and Keyboard Maestro (I have tried both "Activate a Specific Application" and "Open Application").
Most puzzling, if I try the run (Automator) or try (KB) function, the application opens as if clicked in the dock. Could someone explain to me what is happening?

Thank you! I have received another solution which works as expected (as if the app was opened from the dock): I have created an AppleScript with
activate application "Zotero". I still don't understand why the Launch Application behaves differently.
