The One Shortcut Every Developer Should Map Today

Every developer has a stack—browser, code editor, terminal, notes, and docs. Yet most devs still ⌘ + Tab their way through them.

There’s a better way: map 1–4 to your core apps.

Why This Works

• It’s muscle memory-friendly
• It’s instant, no cycling
• It lets you layer workflows

Suggested Setup

• Control + Tab, 1 → Browser (for docs + preview)
• Control + Tab, 2 → IDE or code editor
• Control + Tab, 3 → Terminal
• Control + Tab, 4 → Notes/Chat

How to Implement with Assignee

Assignee lets you:

• Assign custom local shortcuts
• Use single-key for shortcuts
• Add window-level switching (for each terminal session or repo)

You’ll go from dev mode to docs in 0.2 seconds—with zero cognitive switch cost.

Skip the Tab Tunnel

⌘ + Tab makes you think. Mapping your dev flow with Assignee makes you act.

Try setting it up once—you’ll never want to go back.
