If (without x-keys) I click on a link for vMix on the desktop, vMix opens... and if it's already open it displays the version number spash screen briefly and then brings the existing instance of vMix to the top.

However, when I try to program an X-key 24 to do this, if vMix is already open, it loads an new instance of vMix instead of bringing the current instance to the top. I did make sure that vMix is NOT configured for multiple instances.

I want to use this approach instead of programming a key to bring a specific window name to the top because the vMix window title changes with each version release (reflecting the version number)

The reasons I want this functionality is to have a quick way to bring vMix back into focus when another app (perhaps Zoom or a graphics program) has focus, and I want to quickly access my vMix keyboard shortcuts (that are only available when vMix has focus)

Any thoughts on why X-keys is opening a second instance of vMix?

Hi, Alan.

Please shoot us an email at tech@xkeys.com.

How are you launching vMix? Did you program a Win keyboard shortcut, or are you using our MacroWorks software shortcut feature? I will do some testing here to see if I can reproduce the issue.
