Shortcut to preview in a specific browser?

[Jan Erik Moström]

Is it possible to set a shortcut to a specific browser (for preview)? I
can't find anything about it in the manual (and I wonder if this is the
reason why I have this old AppleScript that I use to preview in Marked
:D )

I don't know a way to assign a keyboard shortcut to a browser
directly, but that's OK because the preview menu items include the
version number, which change frequently.

But you can create a script to do it, and script can have a keyboard
shortcut, and the script will keep working even when the version
number changes.

#!/bin/zsh -f

/usr/bin/open -a "Marked 2" "$BB_DOC_PATH"

exit 0

Note if you use Marked via 'Setapp' it is referred to as 'Marked' not 'Marked 2'

If you want to use a different app / browser, change 'Marked 2' to the
name of the app / browser.

Yep, I have an AppleScript version that does the same thing ... but I
was wondering why I had it (it's been around for several years with
almost hourly use)

This might be another case for Keyboard Maestro - if you are willing to use a third party tool: it allows you to use regular expressions when defining shortcuts for menu items.
