Hey Christopher,
The macro works fine for me in nvALT, although it eats the tokens you have in the text.
%|%
What are those supposed to do?
There is no timing issue with the clipboard on my system.
BTW: you posted an image of your macro but not the macro itself.
Please see: Using the Keyboard Maestro Forum
Posting the actual macro makes it much easier for others to test (and more likely that you’ll get help).
