+ | Sometimes you will need to wait until the app has completed setting the Clipboard. You can use the [[function:CLIPBOARDSEED|]], in a calculation (`CBSeedBefore ≠ CLIPBOARDSEED()`) condition in the [[action:Pause_Until|Pause Until Action]] to achieve this. Of course you will need to set the Keyboard Maestro Variable `CBSeedBefore` in an Action _before_ the Action to set the Clipboard. | ||
