   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.

   👍 Pros:    Increases your productivity

   👎 Cons:    You need a little time to get used with it

   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

• Show HN: I3wm Alt+Tab Workspace Switcher

  I like using Contexts on the Mac as replacement: https://contexts.co. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• My MacBook setup (the 2024 version)

  I use the Contexts [1] app, couldn't live without it (not affiliated...) It shows me all open Windows and in which Desktop, in its Sidebar (I've disabled the macOS dock.) Also the Cmd-Tab functionalities are nice, and I can use "Fn + [a single key] " shortcut to focus an app. Would recommend. [1] https://contexts.co/. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Arc 1.0 – a freeware web browser developed by The Browser Company

  Thanks for your feedback, I'll have to give TST in the Firefox sidebar another try... > "I make use of ctrl-uparrow to switch between browser and VSCode" I use the Contexts app (Fast Search) for that - https://contexts.co/. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Is there a program that can show my open apps as tabs across a bar like open tabs in a web browser?

  Https://contexts.co has a sidebar option. In their landing page its there under the sidebar heading. Source: 11 months ago

• Witch – macOS window switcher replacement

  You should try contexts! It also has a bunch of other features and is highly configurable. I'm not one to normally pay for software, but this is probably up there with some of the best $10 I ever spent. https://contexts.co/. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• 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 / 10 months 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 / 11 months 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 / 11 months ago
