Hi, @Ihventura_Hutch; for inexperienced users, I like to provide the following links:
- Getting Started with Keyboard Maestro and the Forum
- How Do I Get The Best Answer in the Shortest Time to Questions on the KM Forum?
- How to Post/Upload Your Macro to the Forum
Without knowing more about your objective (e.g., what application; example text) it's difficult to advise. With that said, I'd generally try to use the native features of the application and automate the control of the app with a Keyboard Maestro macro. For Microsoft apps, I sometimes use VBA instead.
