How to tell if Alfred is shown with the new focusing feature

[wwwjfy]

Hi,

 

Here is the problem I met with the latest 2.7.2 update:

 

I have Keyboard Maestro set up for an app to map hjkl keys.

Before 2.7.2, I map keys when the front window of the app has title "xxx", and when Alfred is shown, the key mappings won't be triggered, as it's not active any more.

With 2.7.2, this won't work, that Keyboard Maestro still thinks the app is activated.

 

So now how can I tell Keyboard Maestro the app is not active, or at least, Alfred is shown, so don't do the key mappings?

I don't know the nitty gritty of how Keyboard Maestro works, but I'm certain it's related to this issue:

and this fix:

If it's possible to use the same:

 

* kCGWindowOwnerName = "Alfred 2"

* kCGWindowLayer = 27

 

then this may work for you?

 

Cheers,
