#Create shortcut for chrome in mac pro

Every time I wanted to pull it up to make an update, I had to Alt-Tab over to Chrome, then Alt-~ to the correct chrome window, and then find the Trello tab.

Today I was experimenting with the much talked about Trello for task and project management, and I found myself desperately wanting to give Trello its own spot on the doc. I know that Mission Control allows you to see all the windows, but if you have a lot of applications and windows running at once, this is information overload. Alt-Tab only allows you to switch between applications, and then once you are inside, you have to use Alt-~ to switch between the windows. To make matters worse, Macs hide each application’s various windows from you. This gave them their own place in the dock, and its own icon in the alt-tab view for quick application switching.įor some reason, the Mac version of Chrome doesn’t have this option. In the Windows version of Chrome, I could take heavily used web pages (like email or application monitoring tools) and give them their own application icon. One thing that I have really missed is the ability to create application shortcuts in Chrome. A big part of my pain is learning all of the keyboard shortcuts for Microsoft Office for Mac, which have little overlap with its Windows older sibling (I can’t tell you how many times muscle memory has caused me to minimize Powerpoint when I meant to create a new slide). Overall this has been a significant upgrade, but there have been a handful of areas that I have struggled with in adapting to the OSX environment.

At my new job, I have had the luxury of using a Macbook Pro for my work computer instead of a Windows machine.
