How to disable the application switcher palette and clipboard history

Questions & Suggestions

Hey Alan,

Go to the All Macros group and search for 'switcher'.

When you find the right macro disable it.

I believe there's not a convenient method to do that, but it can be done.

Disable all the relevant clipboard switcher macros, and run this in the Terminal:

defaults write com.stairways.keyboardmaestro.engine MaxClipboardHistory -int 0

You can restore the default (100) by deleting the preference:

defaults delete com.stairways.keyboardmaestro.engine MaxClipboardHistory

You can change the max by changing the zero in the first one to another integer.

I use LaunchBar myself, but I keep KM's clipboard switcher enabled – because I can have more items in it – and the search is sometimes more accurate than LB's. So I usually start with LB's history and move to KM if I don't find what I want.
