    rcmd makes app switching instantaneous!When you have a lot of apps open, finding and switching to them might feel too slow using Command-Tab or the Dock.Hold down the right side |⌘ command| and press the first letter of the app name to focus it.

    • Paid
    • $12.99 / One-off
    You might like to try rcmd? No affiliation, and I’ll add that it didn’t work on my external MS Natural keyboard, so I stopped using it. But I like the idea. Perhaps it would work for you? https://lowtechguys.com/rcmd/.

  5. HyperSwitch provides a compelling alternative to HyperDock for keyboard junkies. What's New
    I use hyperswitch: https://bahoom.com/hyperswitch Unrelated, I also use Hyperdock, from the same developer, to get the dock into the 21st century.

    An AUR helper written in Rust and based on the design of yay. It aims to be your standard pacman wrapping AUR helper with minimal interaction.
    You can audit the PKGBUILD scripts yourself. A good AUR helper, such as paru (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/paru/), will automatically present the PKGBUILD for the user to evaluate by default before proceeding with the installation.

  7. A Python 3 port of AutoKey, the desktop automation utility for Linux and X11.
    Https://github.com/autokey/autokey My advice is to skip the last one unless you need something truly complicated and a config syntax that is just insane regardless of your level of complexity imo. Of course if you just want mac based keybinds to be done for you then use my kinto app.
