Keyboard Maestro Wiki

The %Calculate%<formula>% token returns the numeric result of performing a calculation, where <formula> may be any of the following:

• Mathematical formula like (2 + 3)*12
• Use any Variable which may be evaluated as a number
  • Just enter the Variable Name (without the %) in the Calculate token <formula>
  • Examples:
    • %Calculate%MyVar + 1%
    • %Calculate%(MyVarWordsPerSec * 60)/MyVarWordsPerPage%
• Use any of the built-in Keyboard Maestro functions, like RANDOM(10)
• Get the numeric value of an Variable array element, like MyVar[2], if MyVar is 10,05,12,08 returns 5 (Arrays may contain only numeric data)

Example Action

A reminder that the following are only equivalent if the Variable is numeric:

• %Variable%Count% (Variable)
• %Calculate%Count% (Number)

So, if MyVar is “005”, then

• %Variable%MyVar% will return 005
• %Calculate%MyVar% will return 5
