How do I automatically raise a window, called by a keyboard shortcut?

Question

So I've read through the tutorials on how to setup the web browser keyboard shortcuts but I can't seem to find how to make the default web browser keyboard shortcut appear on top.

I'm going to settings -> keyboard -> shortcuts -> launcher -> launch web browser.

I've set it to Shift+Ctrl+I.

Whenever I execute the Shift+Ctrl+I command it launches a new web browswer....but in the background. How can I have it launch in the foreground?

No. I want to be able to hit Shift + Ctrl + I from anywhere and have a fresh internet browser appear in the foreground. That is not a keyboard shortcut — RocketTwitch, Apr 19 '16 at 06:05
You don't understand, the linked answer makes new windows raise to the fron, which is your issue. — Jacob Vlijm, Apr 19 '16 at 08:14
Cool :) Glad it works. You can close it as a dupe yourself, as "Community". The linked answer will then be findable through your question. — Jacob Vlijm, Apr 19 '16 at 15:32

I just tried it on my laptop. You should create a custom shortcut with the command:

exo-open --launch WebBrowser

It starts on the foreground for me.
