All currently running applications are displayed in the Program, Folder or Document Name drop-down list.
Select the Switch to the already launched program checkbox and you will no longer need to check whether this program is already running or not.
Select the Add to the Windows context menu checkbox in the Comfort Keys options and you will be able to assign a shortcut key by right-clicking the shortcut of the program you are interested in and selecting the Assign Keyboard Shortcut item (see Main properties).
