Hotkeys are normally registered globally with Windows (if the Unregistered box is not checked), so these cannot be application-specific.

Regardless of whether or not the hotkey is registered (the Unregistered option is to allow hotkeys that Windows won't allow), you can put the logic into the hotkey.

For example:
Code:
var fgWindow = sp.ForegroundWindow();
var exeName = fgWindow.Process.MainModule.ModuleName;

//exeName comparisons below are case-sensitive!
if(exeName === "chrome.exe") 
{
    sp.MessageBox("Chrome", "Chrome");
} 
else if(exeName === "notepad++.exe")
{
    sp.MessageBox("Notepad++", "Notepad++");
}
else if(exeName === "Discord.exe")
{
    sp.MessageBox("Discord", "Discord");
}
else
{
    sp.MessageBox("Other: " + exeName, "Other");
}

If I set key "Z" as "LEFT" only for KMPayer64.exe and I want keyboard "Z" to type normally on other application, what should I put in sp.???; ?

var fgWindow = sp.ForegroundWindow();
var exeName = fgWindow.Process.MainModule.ModuleName;

//exeName comparisons below are case-sensitive!
if(exeName === "KMPlayer64.exe")
{
sp.SendVKey(vk.LEFT);
}
else
{
sp.???;
}

Is this script in a hotkey?

I just want to make sure I understand where it is starting.

If it is a hotkey, make sure to check Active, Unregistered, and Consume, then use this:
Code:
var fgWindow = sp.ForegroundWindow();
var exeName = fgWindow.Process.MainModule.ModuleName;

//exeName comparisons below are case-sensitive!
if(exeName === "KMPlayer64.exe")
{
    sp.SendVKey(vk.LEFT);
}
else
{
    sp.SendVKey(vk.VK_Z);
}

Since we checked Consume, the Z key will never be seen by any application. So we need to manually send it, unless the foreground window is KMPlayer64.exe, in which case we send LEFT.

Yes, that's right, but when I press SHIFT + LEFT then press LEFT while SHIFT is down in other application, SHIFT + LEFT will become only LEFT without SHIFT. How to correct it?

When you say SHIFT+LEFT, are you referring to the left mouse button, or the left arrow key?

But that aside, why would the shift be affecting anything in regards to the LEFT, as I thought this hotkey was for the "z" key?
