I have some I'm proud of I use on a daily basis at my Github -> https://github.com/rizzini/Dotfiles/tree/master/Documentos/scripts
Waydroid script, which I bind to META + W keys to open and close it. It works nicely. For my environment, at least. I'm not on Wayland and I don't intend to use it any time soon, so I use Weston which opens a nested Wayland session inside X11. Script.
I have three scripts running through the Command Output KDE snippet, which is very powerful. You can print any command output into your taskbar. Imagine the possibilities.
Anbox script bound to META + A keys. I don't need to open some third-party software, like Waydroid's case, so I start it directly using a Systemd service unit configuration file. Besides that unit file, I made a simple script that opens Anbox and closes it if I run the script again. Script. anbox.service file.
My super-duper simple playerctl script that works flawlessly for years to prioritize my media keys to work on Spotify or ncspot over anything else. If I'm listening to Spotify or ncspot, why do I need to control any other stuff with my media keys, right?! Without it, if I have any other mpris player open, which can be a lot of things some not even related to media, my keyboard media keys won't focus on the music players I use for actually listening to music. ncspot doesn't respond to playerctl --player=ncspot play-pause, so I have to detect if it is playing or paused, so I can run playerctl --player=ncspot play or playerctl --player=ncspot pause separately. Script.

Programatically disable compositor. The call I found online never worked for me, so xdotool to the rescue. Script. Writing this comment, I checked again and the call is working now(qdbus org.kde.KWin /Compositor suspend). Kudos to KDE team. I commented the line with xdotool I used to use.
If you want you can take a look at my dotfiles here, but here are some highlights I really like:
