RCMD

Description of App

Instant app switching with a rarely used key
The ⌘ command key on the right side of the space bar is almost never used, so we found a clever way to take advantage of it!
Hold down rcmd and press the first letter of the app name to focus apps instantly.
When pressing the key while the app is already focused, you can choose to hide the app or cycle to the next app with the same first letter.

Launch apps if they aren't already running
Hold down ⌘ command + ⌥ option and press any letter to assign that letter to the currently focused app.
When an app is in the static list:
the assigned key can launch the app when it isn't running
the Hide/Cycle setting can be adjusted on a per-app basis.

Fast and pretty app switcher interface
While rcmd is best used without an UI, you still have the choice of showing an App Switcher if you need it.
When holding rcmd, the switcher can appear instantly or with a delay, and there are three beautiful themes to choose from:
Clean (no transparency, text-based)
Compact (less transparency, less padding)
Comfortable (vibrancy, more separation)Instant app switching with a rarely used key

Accessibility Comments

The application is very accessible. Unfortunately you cannot perform the initial test, so you need to skip it and then choose an App's modifier. They go from left to right, so that CTRR, Option, Space, Right CMD, Right Option. You just press on the right command's icon. The toggle of the key is not announced, yet the application is fully usable after the initial setup since it's hotkey-based.

Usability

There are some minor accessibility issues with this app, but they are easy to deal with.
