| You can configure the hot key trigger to execute the macro when the key is pressed, when it is long pressed (v10.0+), when it is released, or repeatedly while the key is held down. This allows you to do things like have a macro execute when the key is pressed, and then a second macro execute when the key is released, for example to toggle a setting on and then off again. | You can configure the hot key trigger to execute the macro when the key is pressed, when it is long pressed (v10.0+), when it is released, or repeatedly while the key is held down.

| You can configure the hot key trigger to execute when the key is tapped (press and released quickly) only on the first tap, or the second tap, or the third tap, or the fourth tap (v11.0+). Keep in mind that Keyboard Maestro cannot see the future, so to determine that this is explicitly the second tap, the macro will not fire when the key is released, but must wait a short period of time to see that it is not pressed a third time. As such there will be a short delay before the macro is executed when using the “only once” style options. | You can configure the hot key trigger to execute when the key is tapped (press and released quickly) only on the first tap, or the second tap, or the third tap, or the fourth tap (v11.0+).
