Select the History or whatever item, choose for the macro to run and than put your mouse cursor where you want your typing .... now I understand the BFS.General.ThreadWait which gives you the time to move your (mouse) cursor. Using a hotkey keeps your cursor where you want the text to be typed. ]]> https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/macro-paste-by-typing-by-thomas-malloch-bfs-not-working-quite-well/?ID=b81fca4c-b165-41d7-ac6a-65f86aa00860#2 Thu, 09 Mar 2023 17:09:35 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/macro-paste-by-typing-by-thomas-malloch-bfs-not-working-quite-well/?ID=b81fca4c-b165-41d7-ac6a-65f86aa00860#2 ClipboardFusion Kind of solved, hotkey assigned to macro, then it runs from the hotkey as desired. ]]> https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/macro-paste-by-typing-by-thomas-malloch-bfs-not-working-quite-well/?ID=b81fca4c-b165-41d7-ac6a-65f86aa00860 Thu, 09 Mar 2023 16:41:09 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/macro-paste-by-typing-by-thomas-malloch-bfs-not-working-quite-well/?ID=b81fca4c-b165-41d7-ac6a-65f86aa00860 ClipboardFusion On my clipboard I have, for example, this number sequence: 6166 6586 2255 0013. Running the macro gives: 166 6586 2255 0013 and thus leaving out the first character. Any I idea where this comes from?? The clipboard text is scrubbed/cleaned et cetera. ]]>
