The First Action (In Macro) Works Alone, but Not With Hot Key

Questions & Suggestions
1

My macro works with Safari activating (with Safari at front) when Safari ALREADY is at front.

Otherwise not.

The first action in this macro is called:

Activate Safari - leave it at front

Why !??

Not much to go on but, is this macro in a Macro Group that is only available in Safari? If so it won't work unless Safari is active.
Maybe try moving to Global Marco Group.

hej @DonM you are right, this macro was in the Safari group, where I put it (not to restrict its usage, only for convenience !)

So now it's in the Global group, where it can be fired off, but I get error message - it fails.
However, when I have Safari active and in front, it works fine.

launch Safari - mail.com Macro (v9.2)

launch Safari - mail.com.kmmacros (6.0 KB)

Hey Omar,

Your initial condition is that Safari MUST be frontmost.

Thanks Chris!

The IF - version of the macro was a (desperate≈) test, because I have not - after all those years of KM practice - realised that macros, which I put in f ex "Safari Group" implies that they are 'locked to Safari being active app'.

For me "Safari Group" was just a folder for keeping! :-((

Anyway, everything is working now.
