Using the filter works fine, too. The technique I described came from
the Miranda IM scripts which employ hotkeys and event hooking for the
chat dialogs. Since more than one such window can be open at a time, I
unregister and reregister every time focus moves to another top-level
window.

in memory pose memory issues, etc? I thought it was a best practice to
clean up as much as possible.

While you can do what Steve suggestion, there is built-in
alternative. You'll notice that the third parameter for the
RegisterHotkey method is FilterBy (Window object or Process object
to filter the hot key by). In Immed, the line is:
Set selectAllReg = Keyboard.RegisterHotkey("Control-A",
"SelectAll", cmdWin.Window)
That means that Control-A is tied to cmdWin.Window. When that
window is active, the hot key function. When it's not active (or
loses focus), that hot key will not function.
