The following video explain an Mac automation for how I quickly switch back and forth between applications. This tip is for those who are already familiar with BetterTouchTool and Keyboard Maestro (affiliate link).
Keyboard Maestro Macro
Here’s the set up for Keyboard Maestro macro. I assigned a hotkey, and then mapped that hotkey to the BetterTouchTool finger gesture.
BetterTouchTool Trigger
For the BetterTouchTool set up, you can assign a different finger gesture if you like. I found that the 3 Finger Clickswipe Up worked best. (See my course about BetterTouchTool for more tips like this one.)

So this work however if the app being switched to is not in the current ‘space’ or on the current ‘desktop’ if you will then the mac does not switch to that space / desktop which is, of course , essential. Any idea as to how to force the mac to move to the space with the active window?.Thanks.
Hmmm, I don’t use spaces, and I checked KM but didn’t see action for Spaces. You might want to check the Keyboard Maestro forum. The developer is really good about answering questions. Let us know if you find out anything.
