Keyboard shortcut to switch to specific app in OS X

8

2

In Windows, I can switch to an open app, or an app that has a shortcut pinned to the taskbar, using the shortcut Win+{num}, where num is the index of the app in the taskbar.

For example, if I've pinned Google Chrome as the first item, I can always launch Chrome or switch to it by pressing Win+1.

Is there any similar shortcut available for Mac OS X? I'd like to switch in the same way to the n-th app in the Dock.

You can switch to a specific Space. If you pin apps to Spaces, that's a fast method of switching. – Tetsujin – 2018-07-15T06:39:21.990

1You can create this functionality in macOS, since one can create keyboard shortcuts that are attached to scripts. However, since you want them numbered, it would mean having to create, say, 10 individual scripts and shortcuts: one for ⟨⌘⟩+⟨1⟩, another for ⟨⌘⟩+⟨2⟩, and so on... – CJK – 2018-08-03T07:10:22.377
