| - | {{:action:pauseuntil.png|}} | + | The //Pause// action pauses for a number of seconds. You may enter a calculation for the number of seconds. Enter the number or calculation in the //Pause for// text area. |
| - | ###For //Pause Until// select a condition: | + | {{ pause-action.png?nolink&424x178 | Pause Action }} |
| - | *Any of the following are true — at least one condition must be true. | + | |
| - | *All of the following are true — every condition must be true. | + | |
| - | *None of the following are true — no condition is true. | + | |
| - | *Not all of the following are true — at least one condition must be false. | + | |
| - | Add a new condition by clicking the green + button beside //New Condition// to select from a list of available conditions. | + | You can pause for a number of hundredths of a second, seconds, minutes or hours. |
| - | For a great discussion on various techniques, see this KM Forum thread: | + | Note that it is generally not a great idea to pause for a long period of time - the macro might be interrupted, the situation on the Mac might change, the Mac might go to sleep, and also Keyboard Maestro Engine will be wasting CPU doing nothing while the macro runs. |
