Pause for a Random Number of Seconds Between 3 and 23

Don't do that!!! :sunglasses:

Not unless you're having fun that is. My rule-of-the-thumb is to not spend more than 20 to 30 minutes banging my head against the wall, before I ask for help – unless I'm making measurable progress and learning something – i.e. the use of my time is truly productive.

If you search the wiki for “random” you'll find something right quick:

Search [Keyboard Maestro Wiki]

If you search the forum for “random” you'll find something right quick:

Search results for 'random' - Keyboard Maestro Discourse

It's a good idea to always try the Search-Field in the Keyboard Maestro Editor's Help menu – you'll frequently get a clue:

Note that all of these menu items have a keyboard shortcut that pops up a search dialog.

When I'm looking for something I tend to follow this progression:

  1. Search the Help menu of the Keyboard Maestro Editor.
  2. Search using Insert Action by Name.
  3. Search using Insert Token by Name.
  4. Search using Insert Function by Name.
  5. Search the Keyboard Maestro Wiki.
  6. Search the Keyboard Maestro Forum
    • Using the Forum's built-in search.
    • Using a Google site-search.

Of course this varies when I have some idea of what I'm looking for.

There's too much dain brammage in the world already, so ask for help when you need it!
