CMD window opens when using run command (focus & fullscreen issues) #23
Description
When using the run command, a CMD window opens briefly. This causes a few problems:
Application focus is lost when the CMD window appears
It interferes with fullscreen applications (games, fullscreen apps, etc.)
This behavior is problematic in workflows where focus must remain on the active application.
I myself use a lot of custom scripts that need to be run with a file which steals the focus.
Expected behavior
Running commands should not open a visible CMD window or steal focus.
In the original HID macros system, running files did not cause this issue — commands executed silently without opening a CMD window or affecting application focus. This makes the current behavior feel like a regression compared to the previous system.
Additional bug: Program randomly stops working
There is also another issue where the program randomly stops working.
Unfortunately, I don’t have much info yet
for now it seems to happen at random times
I haven’t been able to reproduce it on command I will give an update in another post whenever I can.
Also huge thanks to Dero for developing and maintaining this app — it’s been very useful, and I really appreciate the work that’s gone into it 🙏
