Hide/show specific Window (only that one)

@Andreas_Hegenberg The action below reliably shows/hides the window titled “TO.DO !!!”. However, there is an inconsistency. If other windows of the same app are open and not hidden (
Only in the background), some of them are also brought to the foreground. Sometimes, but not always. Is this a bug? It would be perfect if only the selected windows reacted. Could you perhaps make this a little more reliable? Thanks.

If you don't reply, I usually know why :wink: But in this case, I'm not sure.

So there's no way to bring only the desired window of an app to the front?

it’s complicated :sweat_smile: I need to check whether there is any way to improve this, but there might not be

I see. Thank you, that's reason number 3 of 5. :slightly_smiling_face: Take your time. And if it's not possible, then so be it.

I tried to reproduce the issue but haven't been successful so far. However, could you try whether this still happens with 5.594? (uploading)

Thanks, Andreas. Unfortunately, no improvement with 5.594.

Keyboard Maestro (KM) has a similar action that works flawlessly. I don't know if this is important, but there are two differences compared to BTT.

  • KM: The toggled window always remains in the background. So it is not the front window. BTT always makes it the front window.

  • KM: If the window is not minimized but is in the background, nothing happens when the shortcut is executed for the first time. Only the second time does the window appear. However, it is not the front window. With BTT, the shortcut always works and the window is brought to the front.

without making it front, this is much easier. I can add an option for that

I don't understand that, but for me, the window doesn't have to be the front window. So if you could add such an option, that would be perfectly sufficient for me :slightly_smiling_face:

Ah, and in the same context, while you're at it... maybe this too? :slightly_smiling_face: Thank you.
