   Easier and faster to navigate through apps

   Since I managed to get used with this app I can't imagine a day of work without it. Incredible powerful and easy to use / configure.

   A useful productivity tool

   rcmd is something that could potentially turbocharge your productivity. However! you will need to get used to using it.

   My only issue is that I forget about it ¯_(ツ)_/¯

   👍 Pros:    Improves your productivity

   👎 Cons:    It's super easy to forget that it exists

• You're using function keys wrong

  I've been doing this for >10 years with https://manytricks.com/butler/. Works great! You can also bind snippets of text, scripts, etc. I can't overstate how important it is to have a keyboard that groups function keys into "islands" of (generally) 4 so you can touch-type them. An ergonomics consultant once observed that the source of my neck pain was that I looked at the keyboard while typing. As a touch-typist, I... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Alternative to AutoHotKey (AHK) for Mac?

  I’m currently starting a job using windows after being on Mac for many years and have settled on AHK to replace part of my workflow from a program called Butler that I absolutely could not do without on Mac. It can do text expansion but isn’t really its main selling point. It can trigger site specific searches amongst other things that I’ve only found AHK able to replicate. Source: over 1 year ago

• Recommendation for app that makes the experience of macOS even better?

  For task/app launching, LaunchBar, QuickSilver, and Butler (and of course Alfred that you already mentioned). I use LaunchBar. Alfred is probably more powerful, but LaunchBar is the snappiest for the way I use it. It's not as much about saving seconds/milliseconds as it is being able to stay in a flow.

• It's been almost 9 months since Ventura was released. What's your thoughts about "Stage Manager"?

• Anime.js – A lightweight JavaScript animation library

  One less known use case for this is creating animated UI demos, which as a dev I find harder to do using video editing software. I used it to create the simple demo on the rcmd frontpage: https://lowtechguys.com/rcmd This is the code, where I'm just animating elements of an SVG I previously created with Sketch: https://github.com/FuzzyIdeas/lowtechguys/blob/main/src/rcmd/index.plim#L211-L379 But because Lunar's... - Source: Hacker News / almost 1 year ago

• Witch – macOS window switcher replacement

  Also check out my rcmd app (https://lowtechguys.com/rcmd) for more keyboard centric workflows. It’s definitely not as powerful as Witch for windows/tabs but rcmd’s one-key approach is instant for app switching. Witch has some ingenious features indeed: searching browser/editor/terminal tabs, lingering on an app to show its windows etc. I wish Apple would allow this kind of functionality in App Store apps. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Witch – macOS window switcher replacement

  I've found rcmd quite useful for window switching. It lets you use the right command key plus another key to switch applications. Right command + s for Safari, for example. It can also display a switcher that displays the combinations. https://lowtechguys.com/rcmd/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
