Description

If I have two apps open on the main screen CMD + Tab allows one to switch instantly between apps. If however one of those apps is in full screen, CMD + Tab is much slower since it shows a sliding animation. Is there any terminal command for making that transition instant?

Also if a window is "minimized" then CMD + Tab doesnt work properly. Is there a terminal command so that CMD + Tab will work as expected even if the app is minimized that your switching too, without having to hold down extra keys?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the repository's ~/.macos settings and the macOS-specific configuration they contain. Investigate whether terminal settings exist for the full-screen transition and for switching to minimized apps with Cmd+Tab; done means documenting supported commands for both behaviors or confirming that they are unsupported.
