+===== Definition =====
+The Until action executes a list of actions until conditions are met.  The Until action condition is not evaluated UNTIL the end of the Until Loop, so it will always execute all Actions in the _Until_ block at least once.
+It is one of several Actions that _loop_ through a set of other Actions until some criteria is met.
+===== How To Use =====
+{{:action:until_action_image_--_km_8.2.png?nolink|}}
 Drag one or more actions into the //No Action// area.

 Conditions are grouped by category. See the [[:Conditions|Conditions]] section for further details.

 After selecting a condition category you can make further choices. For example, if you choose the //Application Condition// you can choose a specific application to be running, or at the front, and so on.

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