Since @raycast.com replaced half of the utility apps I currently use, can you also bake in a replacement for lowtechguys.com/rcmd/ @ped.ro?
rcmd - Switch apps instantly using the ⌘ Right Command key
Use the Right Command key and the first letter of the app name to switch to that app instantly. Forget about Command Tab Tab Tab... you get the idea.
