How to check if nothing was copied (make a markdown bolding macro)

Questions & Suggestions

Checking to see if the clipboard changed is exactly what the CLIPBOARDSEED() function is for. I even have a set of actions stored in my KMFAM to make it easier to write macros that take advantage of it:

26 AM

What may not be obvious about these is that the "Copy" action is modified to timeout after a few tenths of a second without notification or aborting the macro.

Here's how these actions would work with your use case:

24 AM

Maybe try this and see if it works any more reliably?
