Suggestion: Multiple apps with same binding cycles through apps #58

Open fuzzyweapon opened 1 year ago

fuzzyweapon commented 1 year ago

I recently tried to set multiple apps to the same shortcut, hoping it would magically cycle through the apps (also tried to trick Thor with the deactivation shortcut too, hehe). I'm so short on keyboard shortcuts I wanted it to work kind of like a carousel where it cycles between apps that share the same shortcut. Given I'm always working in terminals and IDEs, I am often really sacrificing a lot to even carve out one shortcut to be global. Same thing with games.

So it would be nice to do something like a snippet manager and my IDE on the same loop, my writing and research chrome window on the same one, etc. It would greatly ease my brain and basically make it so that someone could have a bunch of bespoke cmd+tabs (in functionality) that are only scoped to things that make sense for them.

In complement of Thor, I use HyperSwitch to cycle in app windows using option-tab:

but I think you can achieve what you want with https://github.com/lwouis/alt-tab-macos
