Let’s bust some myths:
Myth #1: ⌘ + Tab is Fast Enough
Truth: It’s fast for two apps. For more than that, it’s guesswork and delay.
Myth #2: Global Shortcuts Are Best
Truth: They break native app functionality. Local shortcuts keep your commands intact.
Myth #3: You Need to Type to Launch
Truth: With Assignee, you never type—just hit a shortcut and go.
Myth #4: App Switching Tools Are Overkill
Truth: The average user switches apps every 40 seconds. That’s 60–100 switches a day.
Final Thought
You’ve been told shortcuts are complicated. They’re not—Assignee makes them simple, safe, and powerful.
