Tokens in Keyboard Maestro represent placeholders for information about a specific object. For example, the %SafariTitle% token returns the title of the current Safari tab. So the value of the Token will be determined at execution time. All tokens return a text value, even if the source data was some other data type.

Tokens allow you to add textual information to token text fields. You can insert tokens into a field using the Insert Token popup near the field or by choosing Insert Token from the Edit menu. You can also start typing a token and use text completion to complete the token.

Text token fields also process %NN% or %NNNN% as arbitrary hex unicode characters (eg %41% is an A), and (except for regular expression fields) process backslashed characters \a,\b,\e,\f,\t,\r,\n (bell,backspace,escape,form feed,tab,return,line feed).

To include a percent in your text, simply double the percent (). To include a backslash \ in your text, double the backslash (\\). ===== List of Tokens ===== ~~NOCACHE~~ <nspages token -textPages=""> ===== How To Use ===== Keyboard Maestro has a wide variety of tokens.
