Give application-specific buttons priority over global ones

I had to restart BTT to get them to show but the global ones disappeared. But, strangely, the globalones reappeared and the app specific ones now don't show. I do have GC loaded if that's pertinent ...

Right now only the global are showing despite having display orders (of -100, etc.) in the app specific settings.

I restarted BTT and now for the global I'm only seeing Escape, "Show Finder", Snap left, Snap Center, and Snap Right but the app specific show up OK then after some undetermined time or action the "real" global shows up and the app specific disappear.

I'm confused.

Which BTT version are you on?

Version: 2.687 (992)

Ah wait, does it show a globe on the left side? Maybe you accidentally enabled "global" mode by long-pressing the BTT icon in the control strip?

No, the far left shows the "escape" arrows.

Mh then I'm currently out of ideas :-/, for that BTT version I haven't had similar issue reports yet.
Maybe something wrong with your preset?

Well, something is borked because it's acting differently than it did yesterday AFAIR. I'll try rebooting first and play with it a bit. If I discover anything I'll let you know.

I think I've narrowed it down to the Group Show Browser Tabs in GC. That seems to take over the touchbar. I don't know if it's something I've messed with or it's out of the box but I've turned that off until I know more about how it all works. I'm happy with that because I'm still learning how to use this amazing tool.

Thanks!

Well, I guess you can chalk that up to user error. I didn't realize that the Group was modal and that I needed to dismiss it to get back to "normal" ... I'm feeling much more in control now ...

I have same keyboard shortcut both in 'all apps' and specific application section. I would like to have application specific to be executed while that application is in focus, but one in 'all apps' gets executed. I tried to find order list being mentioned in this thread, but without success. My BTT is 3.373.

That's the default behavior and should work fine. In what app are you testing? Is it something special?

Andreas, thank you for your express response. You are greatest. And as usual, once I open support case, 3 minutes later I manged to find my mistake by myself. I was sending wrong keystroke.
Thank you so much.

It does not work for me that way in one scenario - I have 3 finger swipe up set in All Apps to enter fullscreen and in Safari i have 3 finger swipe up to open a new Safari window. The All Apps shortcut has priority over Safari and when i use it, instead of having new Safari window opened i enter Safari fullscreen

It should definitely behave like that for Safari too, maybe something is wrong with your configuration? Can you post screenshots or export your setup?


@Andreas_Hegenberg I really wanted to buy this app after my trial ends, but looking at the way you approach reported issues i'm starting to question it.

then don’t buy it, I absolutely despise comments like this one. Asking nicely about the state of the issue would have been a possibility, but you chose to do otherwise in a way that lost you any chance of getting this resolved quickly.

What a professional approach... Are you serious? Bug fixing depends on how nicely I ask you to solve them?

is there a way to make the three finger tap more responsive? this issue is from June 21 so even if I asked you on my knees to solve it, it wouldn't be solved quick because its already more than 3 months since its been reported.
I've sent you an email 2 weeks ago you didn't even bother to respond.
Get a grip.

yes it extremely depends on how nicely people ask. I have fixed thousands of bugs or added features over the last 10 years, but never once if it wasn’t asked for nicely. I’m not here to help if I get insulted in the process of doing so.

You don’t know the circumstances of why I have been absent for the last week and they are not relevant to this forum.

@Andreas_Hegenberg do you still hate me?
