Exclude apps from All Apps or, mutual exclusivity with specific apps

Hello,

I have some triggers set up for my mouse which I want to work in the vast majority of apps. There are a few apps, however, which I want to use different triggers. I set these up in their own group/app, but I now have both the app specific triggers and the All App triggers activating at the same time. Is there some way to exclude apps from the all App List?

Thanks,

H

So I have answered my own question, in a manner of speaking, by creating a conditional group and adding app exclusions. This is now "My All App" list.

Please let me know if there is a better way, or if there is anything wrong with what I have done.

Thanks,

On this topic I am experiencing difficulties to use Activation Groups to exclude an app.

In my case, I want to exclude Sublime Text for some triggers in order to avoid interferences. However the Conditional Activation Group that I have made (see below) does not prevent the corresponding BTT triggers from being activated in Sublime Text.

If I put this condition on each trigger, this condition does work correctly, though.

Am I doing things wrong or is this a bug?
(BTT 4.787, Ventura 13.7)

Did you add your triggers to that conditional activation group? Are you sure they are not still in the "all apps" group?

Thank you for your answer!
Yes, I checked that the triggers are in the group "All but Sublime" and not "For All Apps".

Maybe have a look at the recently used section in BTT. That should show where they are triggering from

You are right! In the "Recently used" section, the triggers appear as belonging to "For all apps", while in the configuration window they were in the "All but Sublime" section.
I copied and pasted the triggers as new ones and the problem was solved. Thank you for that!

Should you try to reproduce the behavior I was mentionig in my first post here are the steps I followed:

  • in the "For all apps" section, I created a folder, and triggers in it.
  • I transfered (with the mouse) this folder to the "All but Sublime Section" afterwards
