Fwiw I discovered rcmd a few years ago and it changed my workflow to attribute an app to a shortcut. I switch through cmd-tab less often and I’m really more pro

  Losing right cmd isn’t great IMO (e.g. if you want to press ⌘ P, you need both hands now). I’ve tried doing both cmds for launching apps, but settled on ⌘+⌥ (and use it for very common apps only: browser, mail, Telegram, Finder). Both variants (and of course an rcmd-like setup) are easy to do with Karabiner (free, Unlicense): https://karabiner-elements.pqrs.org/ https://karabiner-elements.pqrs.org/ Edit: looks like rcmd also includes a quasi-modal app switcher - if it works like I imagine (type the name of the app you want), that’s pretty neat. But not that different from just typing it into Spotlight I guess?

    Yes I sacrificed the right ⌘ but the gain I have all day compensate for the few times I have to do ⌘ + p in one hand. You can cycle through and have a switcher yes. It’s really instantaneous to switch apps for me and I gain so much time for the main apps I use. You can summon them from any screen and virtual screen and it goes right to it without an other modal in the middle. All other tools I tried didn’t offer the same flawless UX
