How Can I Use the Same Hotkey in Different Apps, but With No Conflict Palette Appearing?

Example Using Multiple Macro Groups To Use Same HotKey for Different Macros in Different Apps

Well, I'd advise you start with something simple:

  1. Create 3 Macro Groups that are ACTIVE ONLY for a specific app, and make each MG for a different app.
  2. Put a macro in each MG, and use the same HotKey trigger for each macro. Make sure this HotKey is NOT used anywhere else.
  3. Now try triggering one of these Macros when its app is frontmost. You should NOT see a Conflict Palette.

It is very important that you read and understand this KM Wiki article. Once you do, you should be able to design Macro Groups to achieve your objectives.
