I recently bought this app, and I’m starting to build the muscle memory for some triggers.
One macro that I really like in principle is “Paste Selection Into Last Application”
The problem I’m facing, is that it just doesn’t work. I tried with multiple apps, multiple data types, adding wait actions… nothing helped.
How can I fix this macro? Thanks!
MacOS: 15.7.2

Start by trying "Copy" and "Paste" actions instead of keystrokes:
...as they have some built-in "wait until done" logic.
And test with "proper" macOS apps first -- you could, for example, use TextEdit and Keyboard Maestro itself, selecting an action in the macro and using the Run button to execute it (avoiding any Trigger issues).

Thanks! This solved the issue, when running pressing the “Run” button. The problem remained when using the keystroke thou.
I discovered there’s a “start debugging” feature, which was handy to realize, that for some reason, I needed to wait a little bit at the start.
