A simple MacOS application switcher, inspired by rcmd. I didn't want to spend $13 so I made a small app with a similar concept. NOTE: Neither I nor this repo have anything to do with the original rcmd app.
usage: rcmd [options]
Description:
Press and hold the right command key then type what process you
want to switch to. The text is fuzzy matched against all running
processes, for example typing `xcd` will probably switch to Xcode.
By default the active window will update as you type, to disable
this behaviour pass `--manual or -m` through the arguments. This
will make it so you will to press the return (Enter) key to switch
Arguments:
* --manual/-m -- Press return key to switch windows
* --blacklist/-b -- Path to app blacklist
* --tolerance/-T -- Fuzzy matching tolerance (default: 1)
* --no-dynamic-blacklist/-d -- Disable dynamically blacklisting apps
with no windows on screen
* --no-menubar/-x -- Disable menubar icon
* --no-text/-t -- Disable buffer text window
* --no-swtich/-s -- Disable application switching
* --applescript/-a -- Path to AppleScript file to run on event
* --font/-f -- Name of font to use
* --font-size/-F -- Set size of font (default: 72)
* --position/-p -- Set the window position, options: top, top-left,
top-right, bottom, bottom-left, bottom-right,
left, and right (default: centre)
* --color/-c -- Set the background color of he window. Accepts colors
in hex (#FFFFFF) and rgb (rgb(255,255,255) formats.
(default: rgb(0,0,0)
* --opacity/-o -- Set the opacity of the window (default: 0.5)
* --lua/-l -- Path to Lua file to run on event. NOTE: This requires
rcmd to be build with -DRCMD_ENABLE_LUA
* --verbose/-b -- Enable logging
* --help/-h -- Display this message
You have three choices:
- Run
makeandmake installto build and intall the program - Run
make appandmake install-appto build and install the app version - Use xcodegen to generate the Xcode project
NOTE: This app needs accessibility permissions to run.
- Levenshtein distance implementation taken from Rosetta Code
- String wildcard matching function by tidwall/match.c
- Privileges check for accessibility by koekeishiya/skhd
rcmd -- use the right cmd key to swtich between apps
