Dock Shortcuts, no setup.

No configuration required. Dock Shortcut reads your dock and assigns shortcuts automatically. Press ⌥ + 1 for the first app, ⌥ + 2 for the second, and so on.
Reorder Dock Apps to have your shortcuts update. That simple.
(optional): For Pro Features to work, you must grant Dock Shortcut permissions in MacOS settings. What is green on this image, will be red on yours until the app restarts. Restart the app to take effect by rightclicking the Dock Shortcut icon and pressing "Quit"
