Its rise is not suspicious to me at all, the author has tremendous reach influence in the developer community, that drives adoption easily.
Omarchy was my first entry back into desktop Linux since the early 2000s, when I ran enlightenment. The promises of Omarchy are big, and the idea of somebody trying all the tons of available bits of desktop Linux and assembling their favorites is very compelling!
I've since moved to KDE Plasma on that initial Omarchy install, but kept some other parts like the Bash completion system. I would love to get back to having single key sequences to bring up, say, a Claude window, but not enough to set it up in Plasma. If somebody else did it for me though... that's the appeal of Omarchy.
Search for "global shortcuts" in your start menu. KDE Plasma has a global shortcuts settings page where you can create shortcuts to run any program, command, open any page you like etc.
