On a Mac, I’d like to have a keyboard shortcut to open Google Chrome. I know how to set a keyboard shortcut in the system preferences, however I’m unsure how to script it and hook it up.
Is this possible through AppleScript?

If you don’t want to use any third party applications you need to create a service and assign it a shortcut.
Open Automator and select Service. You want it to look like the following :
Save it to its default location. ie
~/Library/ServicesOpen System Preferences –> Keyboard –> Keyboard Shortcuts. Enable the service and assign it a shortcut.
