Repro:
open https://colab.research.google.com in safari
in share icon, press add to dock
save app
create folder in km like so:
then have some actions for the folder, like this one:
It will not trigger when the web app is open, no matter what.
This seems to only happen on just colab.research.google.com web app.
All my other web apps seems to work (same add to dock thing)
Please look into fixing this bug. Thank you.
Have you tried a different hot key? Colab's editor binds ⌃E to "move cursor to end of line", and web apps have a habit of grabbing keystrokes before KM gets to see them.
Not necessarily a solution, but it'll help define the problem.
yea even with this keybind that's not part of colab keybinds, it still does not work
also for this I assumed KM always intercepted the keystrokes before giving them to the web app, it works for all other web apps this way
Take the keystroke out of the testing equation by using a palette. If you set your Group settings to:
...you can easily test "activation" -- if the Group is active the Group's palette will be on screen, if it isn't it won't be.
For me, following your instructions above, the Group is active when the Colab PWA is frontmost. And the ⌃⌥⌘U hot key combo works fine. So you'll have to dig deeper on your own setup to solve this.
Perhaps unlikely then, to be a Keyboard Maestro issue ?
Google may be using methods that are out of reach.
Thank you, that confirmed my suspicion that KM does not think that the app is active whilst it is.
It suggests it here:
I tried both
Neither one works. And i do have only one Colab running too.
What can I do to debug this further?
Here is video demonstration of the bug fully:
A fix was to move Colab.app from ~/Applications/Colab.app into /Applications/Colab.app
Only then it starts to detect things properly but this is still a bug, most likely on macOS side though, not KM.
But yea, happy that there is some fix still.
Here is video explanation of the 'fix': App Fix: Google Colab Issue
That sounds like a "translocation" issue -- the app being translocated (for security) when run from your home folder but not when run from /Applications.
Interesting that it doesn't happen for me (running macOS 15.1.1 on this machine).
