macOS menu bar app for instant space switching. No sliding animation, ever. This is REALLY hacky, it basically simulates super fast gestures.
- App hotkeys — bind a key combo to an app, press it, instantly jump to that app's space and focus it.
- Space hotkeys — bind a key combo to a space number, press it, go there.
- Override Ctrl+Arrows / Ctrl+1..9 — replace macOS's animated space switch with instant ones.
- Swipe override — make trackpad swipes between spaces instant too.
- Option+Tab app switcher — a fast app switcher that shows only apps with real windows, in most-recently-used order. Instantly jumps to the selected app's space. Unminimizes windows from the Dock.
- Import from Apptivate — one-click import of your existing Apptivate shortcuts.
