How to Set Key to Switch to Browser
This page shows you how to set a function key to switch to your favorite app. For example, set F8 to switch to browser.
There are 2 or 3 apps you use all the time. So, it's nice to set a single key to switch to them.
What is wrong with Alt+Tab?
Alt+Tab or ⌘ command+Tab are inferior, because:
- 2 keys combination induces Repetitive Strain Injury.
- Using pinky, the weakest finger.
- You have to take half a second to eye-ball it to land on the window you want.
If you set a single F key to switch to a specific app, it becomes muscle memory.
