rcmd for Mac

rcmd - instant app switching with a rarely used key.

Switch apps instantly just by their first letter!

• Hold down the right side |⌘ command| and press the first letter of the app name to focus apps instantly
• The Dynamic algorithm will choose the most useful app for each letter
  • The algorithm will adapt in real time to your workflow
• If apps live on separate spaces, rcmd will switch to the relevant space
  • Switching spaces needs the following setting enabled: - System Preferences --> Mission Control --> "When switching to an application, switch to a Space with open windows for the application"
• When pressing the key while the app is already focused, you can use one of 2 useful functions
  • HIDE: Show/Hide the app instantly
  • CYCLE: Focus other apps with the same first letter

Assign custom keys for your favorite apps

• Hold down |⌘ command| + |⌥ option| and press any letter to assign that letter permanently to the currently focused app
• When an app is in the STATIC list:
  • The assigned key can launch the app when it isn't running
  • The HIDE/CYCLE setting can be adjusted on a per-app basis

Customize the app to your liking

• The Trigger setting allows you to change the Right Command trigger to any combination of modifiers
  • This will come in handy if you have a keyboard without a Right Command key
• Disable specific letters from being registered by rcmd
  • Click on the Settings button to find the Enabled Keys setting
• App Switcher UI
  • You can optionally see running apps with their assigned keys while holding Right Command (or your custom trigger key)
