Press a shortcut to bring an app's window forward, or open the app if it is not running. Six slots, one app each.
Needs Rebind 3.5.0 or newer on Windows or macOS. It requests the exec permission so it can start programs.
Set up
- Open the package in Rebind and select Options.
- Modifier held with every slot key defaults to Ctrl+Alt, so the shortcuts are Ctrl+Alt+F1 through Ctrl+Alt+F6.
- On each Slot tab, set Key and the app:
- Windows: Executable is the program's file name, such as
notepad.exeorchrome.exe, or its full path if Windows cannot find it by name. Arguments are optional and split at spaces. - macOS: Application name is the app's name, such as
Safari. Arguments are not used.
- Windows: Executable is the program's file name, such as
- Start the package. Restart it after changing a slot key.
Limits
- Each shortcut replaces any other use of that key combination while the package runs. The slot key pressed alone still works normally.
- On Windows, the first visible window whose program name contains the executable name is chosen, so apps with similar names can be mixed up. A minimized window is restored; a maximized one stays maximized.
- If an app cannot be focused or opened, a notice explains why.
- Live use remains unverified on Windows and macOS.
Stop
Stop the package from the editor toolbar, or press Left Ctrl + Left Alt + K (Left Control + Left Option + K on macOS) to stop all scripts.
