hi there!

$process_name is any match of the name of running process I want. Sometimes I want vlc, sometimes I want explorer, sometimes I want Notion, sometimes I want TogglTrack, sometimes I may want totalcmd, etc. etc.

Also, a substring is enough. The process names can be obtained by running Get-Process cmdlet.

Does it make sense? At the moment, I have also functions that are calling the main goto function so that it simplifies the process even more - for the four most often called programs. What they do in addition is they check if a program is running and open the window and if it is not running they start it.

function goms {

try {goto "vlc"}

catch {start vlc}

}

function govpn {

goto "pritunl"

}

function gotg {

try {goto "toggl"}

catch {start "C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\TogglTrack\TogglTrack.exe"}

}

function gono {

try {goto "notion"}

catch {start "C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Programs\Notion\Notion.exe"}

}

→ then I just call gono or govpn or gotg or goms

Of course, the limitation of this is that I am calling only programs that I use with single running instance. For VSCode, where I often have 3 instances running, it is not usable (I am just uring Win+Number shortcut, but you have only 9 of those, right...)

Feel free to ask if something's not clear. Cheers,

Pavol
