wow, most excellent, really appreciate it, solid logic, still don’t know much of whats available here (KBM) since moving over from QK’s but it’s great to be with a live community and such strong programming. cheers.
( I know there’s a LOT for me to discover )
Nice, deleting the variables after running the macro, not cluttering up the variables, absolutely awesome, I would have never known you could do that had you not been gracious enough to read my post AND share that great key.

I just test this macro again, and it is still working for me.
Please make sure you are actually select text (not an image) before you trigger the macro.
If you still can not get it to work, please let us know your environment:
I'm using KM 9.0.5 and MacOS 10.15.4. It doesn't seem to work in any application I've tried: BBEdit, Brave browser, Messages...
I do know that text is being placed on the clipboard when I have something selected, as I can place the proper copied text if I do a subsequent paste after running the macro. However, it always gives me the "The Clipboard has NOT CHANGED." dialog.
Perhaps this is an issue with macOS Catalina interacting with the KM CLIPBOARDSEED() function. But that's just a guess. Perhaps @peternlewis can advise us.
And then run it, and watch the value of the variable name (note that the editor does not see the CLIPBOARDSEED function value, so you have to actually run it to see the changes.
Once again JMTX saving me from reinventing the wheel since 2016. I am constantly finding new functions in KM that have been available for years before I knew I needed them.
I thought I would've preferred the 'copy' action method, but find the keystroke method to be faster and more enjoyable.
