I am sorry, this has been asked before but I couldn't find a clear explanation.
I have the following very simple code:
Macro chrome_refresher
Trigger CSF5
It is set to run when CTRL+SHIFT+F5 is pressed.
The code should run in the background and no matter in which application I am, when I press the key combination the code above is executed. (activating chrome window, send F5 key and then go back to previous window).
I mainly I will be using the code above when I am in one of my code editors: Webuilder, SublimeText or Notepad++.
But I might be using the macro from other programs (office, notepad, etc...) that's why I don't want to limit it to my editors but make this a 'global' macro.
Is it possible to keep the macro running in the background within windows?
The macro is called ""chrome_refresher", I would like to see it in my windows task manager running in the background as "chrome_refresher" when looking in the tab "Processes".
At the moment the macro runs briefly, with that I mean, the name "chrome_refresher" pops up briefly in my "Windows Task Manager" in the tab "Processes" but then closes/de-activates itself after a second.
I have set the option "Run in seperate process" in "Macro Properties" and UAC as "Administrator", but it still doesn't work.
I read in another topic, that I must make a function of the macro, but I didn't understand fully what to do after I make function the code.
(To avoid misunderstanding, I want to run the compiled .exe in the background)
