Keyboard maestro forum7/26/2023 ![]() ![]() When an application pastes anything from the clipboard, it tries to choose the best representation. These different forms of the information on the clipboard are called “flavors”. There are four possible solutions to ensure robustness in these sorts of cases:Ī reference to the location in the document A similar affect can happen if you actively delete the pasted clipboard using the Delete Clipboard action - the old clipboard may be restored before the Command-V is processed. If the application / system is slow, then the pause will not be long enough, and what will actually happen on the application end is: Post a Command V to the keyboard event queue Keyboard Maestro includes an automatic delay after posting a command key to allow the application to process it, but it's possible for the system / application to be slow in processing it and thus resulting in the wrong order of execution. Sometimes Typing results in Characters Missing or out of OrderĬopy or Paste is done via a Command-C or Command-V, and this is an asynchronous action - the keystroke is posted to the event queue and the system/application will process it at some unknown future time. ) (so ten instead of 11 bullets) and then an “invalid password” error, which makes this problem hard do diagnose. ![]() Because it is a password field, the only indication will be a missing bullet ( This happens most commonly when you have a hot key trigger with the same key (eg Control-T) as a key you want to type in to a password field (eg “Hello there”). So if it tries to simulate the same key that you are holding down, in a password field, it will still simulate the press and release, but because the key is already held down, the press will not do anything and the keystroke will be lost. Because of this, Keyboard Maestro does not know that you are still holding down a key and therefore cannot know to release it. However, in a password field (or any time Secure Input is enabled), Keyboard Maestro and other applications cannot see the state of the keyboard (for obvious security reasons). If the key is already being held down by you (eg because you pressed the key as a trigger), then Keyboard Maestro notices this, and first releases the key, and then presses and releases the key. Hello all, Would appreciate some confirmation if it is worth my time to go down this rabbit-hole – i.e., would this be feasible? I sit with emails coming in that contain unique "client" identifiers – as in, only that client has that specific.When Keyboard Maestro simulates a keystroke, it simulates both the press and the release. I don’t understand it, perhaps you will! Keyboard Maestro Discourse – 24 Aug 19 Is this a feasible Macro? Extracting details from text file? I looked quickly on the Keyboard Maestro Forum and found this. I used to have Hazel but I know have everything in DEVONthink 3. Really it is value for money to say the least. Even if you go to Hazel I would anyway take a look at Keyboard Maestro. I have to say I have ditched nearly everything for Keyboard Maestro. I suspect there is a way from Keyboard Maestro. ![]() suggests that going within the PDF makes Hazel the better option. ![]() Sometimes power users will have ways of Apple scripting into Keyboard Maestro macros that do the kind of thing you are asking about. Try him direct here too? I am not sure of the protocols. Peter Lewis, I think he comes here sometimes! I think. I would, as well as asking here, go to the Keyboard Maestro forum and/or ask the developer direct. ![]()
