Product Description:

So you have a few programs open, and their windows are getting in the way. You know which application you need but don't want to have to wait for the Dock to show up and then have to find an icon in that long list of icons...
You press the magic key and the application comes up to the front. Without having to look for a small piece of a window that you can recognize among all those windows. Without having to wait for the Dock and look for an icon there. You know the name of the application you want... just press the key and it comes to the front. With some key combinations you can run scripts instead.
FreeHotKeys makes your life simple, you press a hot key with the first letter of the application name you are thinking of, and FreeHotKeys brings that application to the front. Very simple, and natural. You know what you want already, you don't need to search for it anywhere.
You want Internet Explorer? Press option-command-i, Mail? option-command-m, the Finder? option-command-f

About Command Tab - Version: 1.2, 3/28/2006 03:43PM PST

When you use FreeHotKeys, you hold command and option with one finger, with the other you type the first letter of the program you want to come up front and that's it. It takes about 1/4 of a second.

When you use Command Tab, the display has to show you the icons, and you have to press command tab many times until you get to the app you wanted. You may not realize but ths action may take you from 3-5 seconds. So if you know what you want, FreeHotKeys may be the ticket.
