| If multiple typed string triggers match from the end (eg "hello" and "llo"), the longest will be used. If there are multiple matches with the same length (as can occur if you use the case or diacritic options), the conflict palette will be displayed, offering a selection of the matching macros. In this case, if all of the typed string triggers have the "Simulate N deletes before executing" option enabled, the deletes will be simulated immediately and then the conflict palette will be displayed; otherwise the deletes will not be simulated. | If multiple typed string triggers match from the end (eg "hello" and "llo"), the longest will be used.

Also note that Typed String triggers will not work well in the Keyboard Maestro editor itself as any change to the macros results in the macros being saved and resets the Typed String trigger buffer. So you will need to use a different trigger for working within the Keyboard Maestro Engine or editor. |
| The system also will (rightly) not allow Keyboard Maestro to see keys typed in password fields, so Typed String triggers will not fire if you type them in most password fields. You can use Insert Text by Typing to type in to password fields (although this is a serious security concern, and there are some cases where it will not work properly), but you cannot use Typed String triggers while inside a password field. | The system also will (rightly) not allow Keyboard Maestro to see keys typed in password fields, so Typed String triggers will not fire if you type them in most password fields.
