Setup the accounts: Setup the google accounts in environment variables like :

• ACCOUNT_1 : myaccount1@gmail.com
• ACCOUNT_2 : myaccount2@gmail.com
• ACCOUNT_3 : myaccount2@gmail.com

Then, setup the keyboard shortcuts for each of the accounts, say

• ctrl+opt+1 for myaccount1@gmail.com
• ctrl+opt+2 for myaccount2@gmail.com
