I am running into trouble in 2 places. First, when I use the text replacement, instead of it populating in the text field, it is triggering a popup box that needs to be selected before the text is actually populated in the box (seen below). Ideally, I would like to simply type !d d and have it populate without the popup and without me having to take the extra action of selecting the choice from that box.
Second, I have text I am trying to have populated that needs to be bold and plain, but all text is being populated with no formatting. I need it to have the first word of each section bold, then the colon and actual notes I add after to not be bold. Ex:
Therapy notes: Subjective: aassddff
Objective: aassddff
Assessment: aassddff
Plan: aassddff
But when I input this using paste with formatting or using ** before and after a word in the executable text action, it always populates like this:
I can help with your first query: the reason this appears
Is that you have two macros called Long date both with the same trigger. It’s called a Conflict Palette and allows you to choose between macros that have identical triggers. All you have to do is delete one of those macros and then the remaining one will trigger as you were intending it to.
Hope that helps and I hope someone else can help with your other question.
I should have said (but forgot) that if you disable the duplicate macro, rather than delete it, that will solve the issue too. So you can still retain your backup copy just in case and it won’t interfere…
Not an answer to any of your questions, but a worthwhile piece of information for a new user... When using the Keyboard Maestro Editor, there is File > Revert Macros for stepping back to a previous set of macros you've created.
