HOW THE SHORTCUT BEHAVES

One key both summons an app and tucks it away.

01
Not open

Launches the app in that Dock position.

02
In the background

Brings the app to the front, focused and ready.

03
Already in front

Minimizes it — a quick toggle, the way the taskbar feels.

Nothing to configure.

The shortcuts simply follow whatever is in your Dock, in order, and stay in sync as you rearrange it.

✓ Follows your Dock order automatically
✓ Quiet, lives in the menu bar
✓ Stays in sync as you rearrange

  2. Scroll down to the Security section
