Good it works for you but for my use cases this is just not quick
enough (say I work in a latex editor, I want to very quickly switch to
firefox to look up an obscure amstex environment syntax, then go back).
When there are just two windows and both are on the same desktop then
the standard alt+tab is obviously quick enough, but usually I'd have at
least 3 windows (say pdf viewer with a compiled pdf) and then having a
chord for switching to firefox is the way to go imo.
