Possible to Globally Set/Replace an Application's Name?

[alesh]

Here's the situation: I use Edge as a secondary browser for development, and I have multiple macros that do stuff with it, including things like, "If Edge is running, switch to Edge and ..." etc.

Well, I regularly change which browser I use as secondary, and then I need to change it in all instances of all the macros that use it.

Is it possible to somehow use a variable or some other KM feature for this? Set which application is e.g. "secondary browser" and then use that token anywhere an application can be specified?

It may not be 100%, but you should be able to do most of what you want using:

• A KM Global Variable, perhaps named something like "DND__SecondaryBrowser"
• Use Variable action to activate the browser app in this KM Variable.

That's cool! In my case, since I'm also using the application in some conditional checks, it's just easier to use the global search and replace, which I didn't realize before will find the name of an application.
