Help with Pause/Condition Macro

Questions & Suggestions
1

Hi, I'm just getting my legs under me w/ Keyboard Maestro. I need help figuring out how to execute a conditional macro. I'm doing some film editing. Here's what I'm trying to execute (example):

keystroke01: highlights the track I want to work with
keystroke02: it plays the timeline
need help here
an existing shortcut in Premiere (H) puts puts a cut into the clip I'm playing - but doesn't stop the video from playing. This is good. The timeline continues to play and I can hit H again - and now I have the clip that I need.
What I want to execute is when I hit H the second time, then a new series of actions will select my clip, etc. So I need basically the macro to pause after a few actions - and not start again until I hit H the 2nd time. How do I go about this?
Thanks for being patient with me.
Dave

Actually, you don't need to simulate the H key, as the key you actually pressed will be picked up by Premiere, so just remove that. My mistake. :man_facepalming:t2:
