Launch Apps | Modifier

Launch apps by modifier + keys.

• right control + c: Calendar
• right control + f: Finder

To use multiple modifiers, use an array, like

withModifier(['left_control', 'left_option'])
// or use alias: 
withModifier('‹⌃⌥')

Copy and edit the code below in the online editor:

export const rules = () => [
  rule('Launch Apps').manipulators([
    withModifier('right_control')({
      c: toApp('Calendar'),
      f: toApp('Finder'),
    }),
  ]),
]
