Create hotkey for app

[justinnutt]

Any ideas on how to create a hotkey that switch to an open app? So if I have 7 apps open I want to be able to switch to specific apps. I don't want to use win+tab ro alt+tab. I'd like a hotkey to jump to a specific app.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Creating a hotkey for an app depends on the operating system. On Windows, right-click the app shortcut, open Properties, go to the Shortcut tab, and assign a key combination in the Shortcut key field. On macOS, use Keyboard Settings > Keyboard Shortcuts to create app shortcuts.

If the application supports keyboard shortcuts, check its Settings or Preferences for a built-in hotkey option. If it doesn't, you can create your own shortcut in Windows.
A simple way is to create a desktop shortcut for the app, right-click it, select Properties, and assign a key combination in the Shortcut key field. If that isn't available, tools like AutoHotkey or Microsoft PowerToys Keyboard Manager can create custom hotkeys to launch almost any application.
