App Switcher Setup for Designers: Figma, Notion, Slack, and More

Design tools are fast. But switching between them shouldn’t slow you down.

Here’s a shortcut-first setup for a full design workflow using Assignee.

---

Typical Stack

• Figma (design)
• Notion (briefs + specs)
• Slack (team comms)
• Browser (preview + references)
• Finder (assets)

---

Assignee Setup

• Ctrl + Tab, F → Figma
• Ctrl + Tab, N → Notion
• Ctrl + Tab, S → Slack
• Ctrl + Tab, B → Browser
• Ctrl + Tab, D → Downloads folder

---

Bonus: Window Switching for Multiservice Design

Working on client A and client B in different Figma windows?

• Ctrl + Tab, F, 1 → Client A
• Ctrl + Tab, F, 2 → Client B

No setup needed—Assignee assigns window numbers automatically.

Final Thought

Visual thinkers still benefit from fast, invisible workflows. Keep your hands on the keyboard and your focus in the zone.
