This is often caused by timing issues: Keyboard Maestro executes an action in the macro before the receiving program is ready for that action. ​
  
 Most of the actions in a script are immediate: Keyboard Maestro will execute them and then attempts to wait until they are completed, but for some actions it is not possible to tell when the action is completed. ​ So Keyboard Maestro will move on to the next step immediately. If Keyboard Maestro does not wait sufficiently long for the result of an action, you must tell it to explicitly. Most of the actions in a script are immediate: Keyboard Maestro will execute them and then attempts to wait until they are completed, but for some actions it is not possible to tell when the action is completed. ​ So Keyboard Maestro will move on to the next step immediately.

Line 208: Line 177:
 This happens most commonly when you have a hot key trigger with the same key (eg Control-T) as a key you want to type in to a password field (eg "Hello there"​). ​ Because it is a password field, the only indication will be a missing bullet (•) (so ten instead of 11 bullets) and then an "​invalid password"​ error, which makes this problem hard do diagnose.  ​ This happens most commonly when you have a hot key trigger with the same key (eg Control-T) as a key you want to type in to a password field (eg "Hello there"​). ​ Because it is a password field, the only indication will be a missing bullet (•) (so ten instead of 11 bullets) and then an "​invalid password"​ error, which makes this problem hard do diagnose.  ​
  
 +==== Sometimes Typing results in Characters Missing or out of Order ====
  
 +This typically happens in web fields (especially Facebook) or cross platform apps.
 +
 +The system has a queue for keyboard events, so they are sent by Keyboard Maestro in the correct order and then processed by the system ​ in that order. The problems happen after that.
 +
 +Typically you see this in fields where the app is processing the field. Essentially the app reads the field, does some processing or checking and then writes the field back, and the typing happens fast enough (as could keyboard typing if you could type fast enough) that changes happen while the field is being read/​written and so characters are jumbled or lost.
 +
 +You can slow the typing down by using Set Action Delay action (https://​wiki.keyboardmaestro.com/​action/​Set_Action_Delay) to increase the delay for normal typing. Only do it for the current macro (not permanently) since this issue is relatively rare, and generally only applies to certain apps or fields.

- +Keyboard Maestro ​requires accessibility permissions ​to perform many of its actions.
