Add shortcut to open specific url in browser - Intellij Shortcut

I want to add Shortcut to open specific URL (let say localhost:3000) in IntelliJ. I read the documentation and try to figure it out on my own by messing around the Keymap, but No luck. Is this possible? What I want is to create a shortcut to open specific URL. If my custom shortcut is Alt +; then it should open http://localhost:3000. Is this feasible in IntelliJ?

  • Tools > External Tools
  • Define your Tool with
    • Program: C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe (in Windows 10)
    • Arguments: http://localhost:3000
