Spectacle ( https://github.com/eczarny/spectacle#keyboard-shortcuts ) will change your life with better/faster window management. And Karabiner Elements ( https://github.com/tekezo/Karabiner-Elements ) to remap keys to something more useful (who uses Caps Lock anymore?)

Spectacle is great but abandoned. It hasn't been updated in years. Bug reports and PRs are piling up. It looks like someone else is currently working on a Swift rewrite. https://github.com/rxhanson/Rectangle

Does anyone know a way to assign a keyboard shortcut to show and hide a specific app? I love this feature in iTerm2 and would like to have it for my browser and text editor as well.

I have it set up in Keyboard Maestro. It's useful, as if you also use Keyboard Maestro's app switcher (Cmd+Tab), you can set that up to never show certain apps in the switcher - apps like Spotify and Tweetbot that I always have open, but clutter the switcher.
