Sending Shortcuts to Specific Applications

Configuration Help & General Discussion

Hi,

Im trying to send “CMD + >” to Spotify from anywhere using the F15 key.

But I can’t find the “Send to app” setting anywhere. It’s just not there.

Im using 26.3 Tahoe on a M1 Mac. App version 6.194

Thanks in advance!

The action is named "send shortcut to specific app"

It’s still not working fine. I was able to set up F13 for “CMD + ←” And F15 for “CMD + →” but F14 for “Space” is not working. Only when the app is open it will work. Even with the options “Bring app to front before sending”.

Any ideas?

It was working before I did an reinstall of my macOS.

What app are you trying it with?

Spotify

For spotify it is much better to use some simple Apple Scripts to control it (they removed support for background keyboard shortcuts a few years ago)

For example this apple script would play/pause:

tell application "Spotify"
	if player state is playing then
		pause
	else
		play
	end if
end tell
