Appication chaining and wildcard

Thanks for KeyboardCowboy, it's such a great idea and is already embedded in my muscle memory!

I have a bunch of application shortcuts like rightCMD+C for Chrome and rightCMD+I for iterm2, and they are in constant use.

Is there a way to have rightCMD+$somekey switch to a running application that starts with that letter? LIke even without defining an explicit shortcut, rightCMD+O would switch to Obsidian if it was running?

Plus I do have shortcut clashes now, with Chrome and Claude and ChatGPT for example. Can I set up a shortcut for rightCMD+C that:

  • Opens Chrome if it isn't running and switches to it
  • Then if I hit rightCMD+C it does the same for the next one like Claude.
  • Then any other ones I've defined.
  • Then loop back to Chrome.

I've read the help and clicked aournd a bit in the setup, but couldn't see anything that jumped out at me.
