I use jumpapp[0] and find it fantastic for application switching on Manjaro/KDE.

In Praise of AutoHotKey | May 2020

Autohotkey is awesome. I used it as part of an automation workflow to remove an hour or longer of daily routine work each engineer had to do each morning as part of their job. Sometimes things failed, but it was used to automate, among other things, a GUI only app.

For "Fast Window Switching":

Linux: Use jumpapp: https://github.com/mkropat/jumpapp

OS X: Use triggers in QuickSilver: https://qsapp.com/

This is one feature I could not do without in any OS now.

Ask HN: Is Thinkpad X1 Carbon an Alternative to MacBook Pro? | Sep 2019

I'm looking to switch to either a P1 or X1 Extreme. I think those would be better equivalents with even better hardware: more max RAM (64gb), 2 SSD up to 2tb each, OLED screens on the 2nd gen versions (on X1E currently and soon on the P1 I understand), better keyboards etc. My company will be buying me one soon. As far as software, for me, after almost a dozen years on OS X, using Linux is superior in almost every single way mainly because of jumpapp [1] and customization (I prefer KDE). Some rough times when first installing with crashes / having to reinstall but it's been stable more or less for months.

Todo.txt: Future-proof task tracking in a file you control | Aug 2019

Can't recommend a task tracker that does that but how about using your favorite one and hot keying that one?

The most usable one (and the one I use would be a tiling WM).

Another would be dependent on the desktop environment you use. KDE has KHotkeys. Gnome certainly something similar.

Another more independent solution would be ror scripts (run-or-raise). They start or run a custom command with a key stroke.

I no longer bother with Alt-Tab, I just use jumpapp[1] to switch between windows quickly.

Ask HN: What linux desktop tools/apps boosted your productivity? | Dec 2018

Off the top of my head, I'd suggest the following:

- Flameshot for screenshots and annotation [1] - Albert Launcher [2] - Jumpapp for quickly launching or switching between windows [3]

They are all desktop agnostic.
