| + | |||
| + | <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. | ||
