I have been trying to no avail to get the context window function to work with no success. Number 5 in the link below.

I have tried running as administrator and installing vs running portable.

I had to resort running a separate autohotkey script for my context sensitive shortcuts which is a real pain.

Is anyone else having this problem? Are there special rules that I haven't considered? Can someone send screenshots of examples that work for them? This is the one piece in the puzzle that would make fastkeys perfect for me and it's driving me crazy.

Thanks for your help.

For example, if you set Window to "Notepad" (a part of Notepad Window name), the shortcut will only work in Notepad.
What have you tried?

It doesn't work. The shortcut is ignored regardless of the window I have Focused.

Here is a simple example below. Sorry for the quality I have dark mode on.

It should work. Maybe the problem is in your shortcut - try a different one.
