Need workaround: "Switch to application" doesn't work when KM input is on screen

Hey @Freewalker,

See Semaphore Lock on the Wiki.

Prevent a Macro from Running More Than Once at a Time v1.00.kmmacros (6.1 KB)

Switching apps works just fine for me with two user prompts open, but perhaps you're doing something different than I am.

You should post your macro, so we can debug your actual work rather than have to guess at what you're doing.

If you haven't read this it's worth a couple of minutes of your time.

Tip: How Do I Get The Best Answer in the Shortest Time?

It's just a floating window that's attached to the background Keyboard Maestro Editor process.

The window floats on top of everything – that's what it's designed to do.

You can't hide the window, but you can wrest focus away from it to work within an app.
