I want to do something similar to OP, and set up a Trigger using the comma command to add more than one application to Open. That works great with a hotkey!
I have a new question now. I'd rather not use a hotkey, but rather just search the name of my custom Trigger using the QS window itself. However, it does not come up, which surprised me. How do I add QS Custom Triggers to my QS Catalog?
