With AutoHotkey on Windows you can associate a shortcut to open a URL - web page or link - in the default browser with the following script:



^!g::Run https://mail.google.com/


This will open Gmail in a new tab in the last active window when pressing CTRL+ALT+G.



How can I do same, but open the URL in a new window instead?

    You need to pass the appropriate command line switch for your default browser.
