====== Apply Modifiers to a Specific Application ======

The *Apply Modifiers to a Specific Application* action accepts either a path or modifiers, usually from the [[token:TriggerValue|TriggerValue token]] and performs an action on an application, either opening the file, or activating, hiding, or other actions on the application in the same way that the [[manual:Applications_Palette|Applications Palette]] does.

This allows you to build macro palettes containing macros that act on palettes, and potentially accept dragged files as well if you use the [[trigger:Dragged_File|Dragged File]] trigger.

There is an Application Palette entry in the [[manual:Macro_Library|Macro Library]] which shows how you can use this facilities to create a palette with a fixed set of applications and similar behaviour to the [[manual:Applications_Palette|Applications Palette]].

You can default to Hide Other Applications When Switching in the action (gear) ⚙ menu (v11.0+).
