Does rcmd expose an api to e.g. call it via shell action in BTT? I would like to keep using BTT for higher level config.

In BTT I have currently set right cmd as a second hyper key (first one being caps). I could see rcmd being useful if I can define on a per key basis if it should run or not.

PS: Great blog you have



Hey thanks!

No, rcmd does not expose any API, but you can disable/enable only specific letters from the Settings: https://shots.panaitiu.com/zz8Y2kxL

You can also change the trigger key from ⌘ Right Command to any combination of direction-aware modifiers.

Also, if you don't make use of rcmd's dynamically assigned apps and you prefer to assign a letter to a specific app, you can use BTT only for this, no need for going through rcmd.

BTT has a focus-or-open action and it's what I used before building rcmd. It can't hide or cycle apps with the same letter like rcmd does but it's good enough for some people.
