Here is my first, test macros, I am trying to supress the "n" from being passed to the focused application. I verified that the "Eat" was checked in the item properties, but the "n" is still being passed through. Ideas?

What trigger?
When posting a macro to this forum, please copy it with menu Edit / Other Formats / Forum, then simply paste here. It will copy correct code and trigger.

Not sure what your asking, what trigger? It fires when Win-N is pressed.

I edited my initial post, as requested.

Why not use normal trigger Win+N, like this?

if w1=0
,OnScreenDisplay "Launching Notepad" 1 0 0 0 0 0 2

In AHK you run a script containing triggers.
In QM you assign trigger in Properties dialog, and the script runs when you press eg Win+N.

Ok, sounds good. Just learning how QM differs.

Thank you,
