In OS X is very comfortable implemented to work with multiple applications. built-in allow to arrange them on individual desktops, distinguishing between your work and personal space, and view running programs through Mission Control and switch between them - all this will require you to only a couple of swipe. Do you think this will have nowhere to go? And here and there! Various applications can be run With Ambilauncher and switch just one cursor movement therebetween.
If you do, every second counts, the simultaneous operation of multiple applications, especially when there are more than two or three, causes difficulties. Here is a real example. During the preparation of the best apps of the week column I tenfold switch from iTunes in Safari, copy the application to open the link. In this case, I use keyboard shortcuts, and also has iTunes, and Safari on different desktops to quickly switch between them chetyrehpaltsevym swipe. But! It should be someone from the office to write in our chat in the Telegram and my idyllic break. Switch to the messenger (or any application), I can not go back to Safari and iTunes simple swipe.
Apparently Ambilauncher developers had a similar problem, and they come for its decision, establishing its simple but very useful application. Its essence lies in the fact that you can launch applications and switch between them by touching the mouse cursor in the specified areas of the screen. Almost like active corners, not only the corners and much more functional.
To bind to a specific area of application is very simple - open the settings, select the section and drag an application icon from the Spotlight search. It looks like this so.
In this case, you can change the size of the section, or add a new one if you have existing already occupied. You can also select the color that will be highlighted in the application area on the screen and thus distinguish them.
In practice, such a switch works fine. To activate the assigned area need to quickly move the cursor to it and remove at least a pixel of the screen. No false positives, so you do not worry about them when interacting with elements of the system or the application of the display boundaries.
In addition applications can be assigned to areas of implementation of AppleScript scripts that opens the possibility of automation, if you frequently use in repetitive actions. Their purpose is no different from the applications and made right there in the settings.
In the options of Ambilauncher can set the width of illumination for designated areas of transparency, as well as the operating speed of gestures. By the way, if you want to mute the Ambilauncher, for example, during the game, it is easy to do through the corresponding item in the menu bar options.
That's so easy, no sighting hits icon in the dock, use hot keys, clicks and even lifting a finger on the trackpad, you can launch applications and switch between them.
