# Assign keyboard shortcuts to groups

Application Wizard lets you assign keyboard shortcuts to groups so that you can quickly open and quit groups of applications by pressing key combinations on your keyboard.

## To assign a keyboard shortcut to a group:

1. Open the Application Wizard pane in System Preferences and click Groups.

2. Select the group in the list.

3. Select the checkbox to enable the shortcut and choose an action (Open, Quit, or ”Open/quit”) from the pop-up menu.

   The ”Open/quit” action:

- Opens all the applications belonging to the group if none of them are running.

- Quits all the applications belonging to the group if they are all running.

- In case just some of the applications beloging to the group are running, it asks whether you want to quit the running applications or open the missing applications.

4. Click the shortcut field and press the key combination you want to use.

   Key combinations including a function key, arrow key, or keypad key do not require modifier keys (Shift, Control, Option, or Command). All the other key combinations must contain at least one modifier key. Keypad keys appear in square brackets [ ] so that you can distinguish them.

Note: Application Wizard does not run AppleScripts when you open groups using keyboard shortcuts.
