One week. No Dock. No mouse. Just my keyboard, my tools, and Assignee.
Here’s what I built.
My Stack
- Ctrl + Tab, A → VSCode
- Ctrl + Tab, S → Terminal
- Ctrl + Tab, D → Notion
- Ctrl + Tab, F → Slack
- Ctrl + Tab, G → GitHub
- Ctrl + Tab, H → Preview
The Rules
- No ⌘ + Tab
- No Dock clicks
- No Spotlight
- No Raycast
- No Enter
The Result
- Faster switches
- Fewer decisions
- Smoother flow
- Actual fun
Final Thought
The mouse is optional. With Assignee, so is friction.
