Hello,

Never quite encountered something like this before, but I've got two commands that use 'Ctrl + Shift + Alt + NumpadDot'

One uses a window field and the other doesn't. I've tried to fix this through the method arrived to earlier, in:
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1216

But in this case, it's just not quite working... the macro that uses the window field, always 'surpasses' the one without...

Kind regards
...

Isn't that logical?
For example, if you have two same shortcuts, one to only work in a specified window, the second everywhere else. The one with the window field would surpass the one without WHEN IN THE WINDOW.

Thank you for your reply!

I think I messed up the OP description/elaboration big time... either way, basically my problem is that when I'm not in that particular window, the macro with the window field still gets executed, when I execute the windowless command...

Then probably the window definition is too wide. It may contain full or partial window (application) names and is not case sensitive. What's the window definition?

Yes, I did try executing it in various other places, but the odd override, would still occur... the Window field contains 'Microsoft OneNote'. I've thus far tried on the desktop, browser and notepad, which all have completely different window names...

I tried the shortcut with "Microsoft OneNote" window definition and it does not trigger anywhere except in OneNote.
