Pick a random text into the clipboard in RunMacro

The Random Clipboard command picks a random item from an inline list you enter (up to 50) and puts it into the clipboard or a variable.

Prerequisites#

  • Add Random Clipboard to the macro.
  • Prepare the data or target that Random Clipboard will use.

Supported modes#

  • RunMacro Runner

What it does#

The Random Clipboard command picks a random item from an inline list you enter (up to 50) and puts it into the clipboard or a variable. Like Random Text but no file — entered directly in the command.

When to use it#

  • A few short content choices, no separate file needed.
  • Pick a random greeting/message.
  • Quickly vary content.

When not to use it#

  • Do not use it for large lists, lockable queues, or reproducible output.

Configuration steps#

  1. Add a Random › Random Clipboard command.
  2. Enter the content items (up to 50).
  3. (Optional) enter a result variable. Save.

Every option explained#

Item list (up to 50)#

The candidate contents; the command picks exactly one at random.

Result variable#

The chosen item is always copied to the clipboard. Enter a variable name to also store a copy.

Expected result#

After execution, Random Clipboard completes the described action and makes its result available to the next step.

Real example#

Example: pick a random greeting#

  1. Random Clipboard with 3 items: "Hello", "Hi there", "Hey".
  2. Paste from Clipboard into the chat box.

Limitations and failure cases#

  • Inline lists are dialog-limited; choices can repeat and clipboard writes can fail when busy.

Tips & common mistakes#

For long lists, keep them in a file and use Random Text for easier management.
