![]() Is it not possible to trigger macros based on multiple triggers using and instead of or? If that were possible then it would make sense to have a trigger that simply checks for the active application when that trigger fires. Instead, the active app trigger wants to poll every so often and it fires regardless of the previous trigger. What I can’t seem to do is to check if an application is active at the time of the clipboard change. I can fire a macro based on a clipboard change, and I can check is an application is active. I thought that would be pretty handy and something I might be able to do in KM. One thing I noticed with the app you posted (Copied) was the ability to group clips by application. I am starting to get the hang of the clipboards now, or at least I have some idea what can be done and what is possible. I did have all the triggers for the switchers disabled so maybe that had something to do with it? I do use the macro facilities, it is the clipboard that I am just getting started with. Not sure what was going on but TM was running the entire time. If you are still confused, post the exact steps you want to use in your example above. Paste as plain text (shift-click on paste button).Use its Search feature to find a prior clipboard.Paste from an earlier clipboard (copy) just by double-clicking on it.The Clipboard History Switcher has several features I use a lot: ![]() In fact, when I get done, the last clipboard before I started this use case is now on the System Clipboard (or KM Clipboard #0), ready to paste, if I need it. Then I simply “Paste and Pop” (pop meaning that it removes the item) using this macro, once for each item I have copied.So, I copy the items in REVERSE order that I want them to appear when I paste.I need to copy several different items (like from a web page), and then paste all of them in another app or web page post (like this forum).Here is my use case that makes the above macro so valuable to me: I mostly just use the Clipboard History Switcher and the above macro. You may want to download/install this macro: It can be very confusing, but Keyboard Maestro has a great clipboard facility. It is the end of a long day so I admit I may not be firing on all cylinders but these seems like it should be as easy at hitting and seeing the magical history list of clips. Is there a clipboard manager for dummies somewhere out there? This seems like it should be simple but so far it has alluded me. Added to it, almost all the clipboard searches I did resulted in articles about using the Clipboards within macros. I searched around figuring there was probably some kind of FAQ or website that would explain how to use, and get the most out or, the clipboard manager features of TM. As a sanity check I opened the Launchbar clipboard history and everything was in there as expected. None of the stuff that I cut from the document earlier today was there. The rest appeared to be random snippets from yesterday, and some were from many weeks ago (as near as I can remember). It had a smattering of snippets, one was the most recent clip I had made. So, next I opened the Clipboard history switcher and that did not seem to have the history either. ![]() Curiously there is one with a blank name too? Can that be deleted? I guess that is another question for another thread. The Paste Switcher appeared to be a way to switch which clipboard I would ? I don’t know, paste into? Copy into? All I saw were named clipboard, the system clipboard and the default. To get to the history, I expected that opening either the Clipboard Paste Switcher or the Clipboard History Switcher I would find the history and be good to go. Part of it is a confusion of the “switchers”.Īfter digging around I thought that the order of use would be to just use the normal cut/copy keystrokes that I always had. I am not even sure that I am accessing the clipboard history correctly. And here is where I ran into my first problem. This AM I had to make several edits to a file and when I ran into issues I went back and cut out the changes expecting to paste them back in one at a time once I got things back to stable. In short order I was reminded that KM has a clipboard manager and a few web sites I ran across extolled its many virtues! So, since I already have KM and am severely under utilizing it I thought I would use its clipboard facilities instead. I find myself using that feature more and more often and decided I wanted to get a dedicated clipboard manager. ![]() In the past I have been using the clipboard manager in Launchbar on those occasions I needed to grab something from the history. I have written a few macros but that is about it. I am a relative newbie when it comes to KM. ![]()
