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.
