    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.

    I was also using Karabiner to launch/switch apps instantly but I got tired of editing large configs to add/remap keys to apps. Eventually I wrote rcmd (https://lowtechguys.com/rcmd) to streamline this workflow of switching/launching an app by the first letter of its name. It will dynamically map <i>Right Command</i> + <i>first letter of app name</i> to already running apps, and you can map your own letters by just pressing <i>Right Command</i> + <i>Right Option</i> + <i>letter to assign</i>. I eventually replaced everything I was using Karabiner for with specialized apps like rcmd, HyperKey (https://hyperkey.app/) and skhd (<a href="https://github.com/koekeishiya/skhd">https://github.com/koekeishiya/skhd</a>). I'm still missing the left/right <i>Shift</i> press once for parentheses, but I can live without it.
