New Safari window if none is visible in the current Space

Hi @cdf1982. Thanks for sharing!

I'm also a regular user of Mission Control Desktop Spaces and have been using the same action, but within a macro that I launch via Hot Key or Conflict Palette. When I open Safari via these two Keyboard Maestro triggers, I similarly force Safari to open a new window in the active space. (I have similar macros for the other browsers I use.)

Contrastingly, I've enabled When switching application, jump to a Space with application windows open enabled. That way when I launch Safari using standard methods (Spotlight, Dock, LaunchBar, etc.) the space automatically changes to the one that includes the most recently opened Safari window. I could see how this might be aggravating for some, but I personally like the flexibility that this affords.


@cdf1982, have you been similarly annoyed by the Finder. If so, you might like this macro subroutine:

It can be be triggered directly or with a calling macro action, e.g.,

Keyboard Maestro Export
