| - | You can set the maximum number of items in the clipboard history (default 200) | + | If you wish to effectively disable the Keyboard Maestro Clipboard History, you can do so by setting the history size to zero, and then Keyboard Maestro will only read the clipboard when you explicitly ask it to use the clipboard. |

| + | You can add additional clipboard flavors to be ignored using: | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code bash> | ||
| + | defaults write com.stairways.keyboardmaestro.engine ExtraIgnoredClipboardFlavors "com.whatever.badflavor" | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | The string should be a bar (`|`) separated list of flavors (technically a regular expression). These flavors will be excluded from the clipboard when Keyboard Maestro reads the clipboard. | ||
| + | |||
| + | You can also write to `IgnoredClipboardFlavors`, which will set the entire list of ignored clipboard flavors, but that is a bad idea since the flavors that are ignored, are ignored for a reason, and overwriting the list will produce negative results. | ||
