How great it would be if you could replace command-tab instead of adding control-tab? Neat idea, although I do prefer the command-tab, hold command, hit Q or M

How great it would be if you could replace command-tab instead of adding control-tab? Neat idea, although I do prefer the command-tab, hold command, hit Q or M or H, continue holding command and hitting tab again, etc., of macOS standard switcher.

Author here. > replace command-tab instead of adding control-tab Currently there is no UI to customize hotkeys. I have a ticket to frame work that can be done here: https://github.com/lwouis/alt-tab-macos/issues/8 https://github.com/lwouis/alt-tab-macos/issues/8 However, you can switch keys in the code and get this working today.

What's missing is the option to hit Q/M/H.

  You should be able to do using [NSEvent addGlobalMonitorForEventsMatchingMask] - I used it to intercept the CMD+V to make all pastes plaintext in Plain Jane https://github.com/i386/plainjane/blob/master/Plain%20Jane/PJAppDelegate.m#L26 https://github.com/i386/plainjane/blob/master/Plain%20Jane/P...

  Sorry, I don't use Xcode often. I made the change in the code you provided above in Xcode. But now, how do I export/build the app to then drag that into my "Applications" folder with this version of the app, where it uses command-tab? EDIT: Google helped me out! If anyone else runs into the same thing, you do the dropdown in Xcode: Product > Archive > Distribute App (blue button) > "Copy App", and then that generates a folder with the newly created .app wherever you save it.
