====== Repeat Action ======


The **Repeat [[:Actions|Action]]** allows you to repeat a sequence of sub-actions as many times as you like.

It is one of several Actions that _loop_ through a set of other Actions until some criteria is met.

The repeat count can be a simple number, or you can use a variable or other calculation in the field (as with most all numeric fields in Keyboard Maestro, simply start typing and the field will expand to make room for more than a number).

You can break out of the loop, retry this iteration, or skip to the next iteration with the [[actions:Redirect_Control_Flow|Redirect Control Flow]] actions.

There is an option in the action (gear) ⚙ menu to display the progress as the action executes (v11.0+).
