Last Updated on May 14, 2022 by admin

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
