Don't bother anymore. I've paid 40 pounds and now they expect more for updates. Just use Alfred and Hammerspoon.

v11 is out. It's unfortunate we have to pay to upgrade to get bugs fixed.

Major time saver. Relieves lots of the irritation that goes along with doing the same routine stuff over and over and over and over and over ...

I’ve used Keyboard Maestro v.9.2 for about a month. I found it has a very intuitive user interface, and I was able to easily set various keys (I used the Function; F1, F2, etc. keys) on my Mac to launch/make active apps, insert dates, signatures and some other text strings I commonly have to type – like my email address. There are many pre-made actions you can select from that can be enabled in a variety of ways. One of the most useful features I use in Keyboard Maestro is the Clipboard History – it allows you to copy numerous pieces of content from one source (e.g. I often have to copy several segments of text or numbers from a web page), then paste them in sequence into another document rather than copy > paste each item separately. This feature alone has saved me at least an hour in my first month of use. I find that actions execute immediately on my old 2013 MacBook Pro. There is a large user support community, and the developer has responded to my email queries promptly. I look forward to enabling many more of the features in KM as I find the need.
