Hi Kristeen, Teresa and the rest. The workaround I did for single-keystroke app
switching was to write two scripts to simulate command-tab and
command-shift-tab respectively. Then I assigned running of the scripts to focus
commands (I used 12-chord and 45-chord). The scripts had one line each:
Tell application "System Events" to keystroke "tab" using command down
Tell application "System Events" to keystroke "tab" using {command down shift
down}
In the examples above the "tab" means double quote then press tab then double
quote again. \t might also be valid. I'm still not applescript proficient.
Hope that trick helps you out.
Cheers. Ben
