Make hotkeys work only in specific programs.
I set a hotkey that I will use when I use a certain program, but when I exit that program, I have to go to the settings to turn off that hotkey, otherwise it will affect other programs.

You can do something like this.

In this example, the hotkey is defined as just the h key. If the active window is Photoshop, it sends Control+H otherwise it sends h for any other app.
Code:
if(sp.ForegroundWindow().ExecutableName == "Photoshop.exe") {
    sp.SendModifiedVKeys([vk.LCONTROL], [vk.VK_H]);
} else {
    sp.SendVKey(vk.VK_H);
}

I will add the feature request, but it's a lot of changes internally as I didn't originally set up hotkeys to be application-specific.

@rob, is there any difference in terms of effect if I do all my dispatching in a Global gesture (if app==X sendVkey(Y), etc), rather than use the Applications Menu? I prefer to keep all the loging in one place, rather to miss some app speciffic overrides
(btw, folks don't do sp.SendVKey(vk.DELETE) if you don't know exactly what you ase doing)

No real difference. Using applications is just to categorize things and apply custom settings to actions or general behavior within an application.
