Macros can save you a lot of time performing repetitive functions on your Mac. While Automator and AppleScript provide a lot of power, some Mac users want an easier way to capture their keystrokes, mouse clicks and other actions. That's where Keyboard Maestro comes in.

This $36 gem from Stairways Software has just been updated to version 3.1, and adds a profusion of new features. While there's not enough space here to list them all, some of the highlights include:

A clipboard history switcher
An action to save a clipboard to a Named Clipboard
Clipboard Filters
Centering windows on the current screen
Fractional second (i.e., .75) pauses
Can add BBEdit Text Factories to the current clipboard

Stairways also fixed some known glitches from the 3.0 release. A 30-day free trial is available for download and requires Mac OS X 10.4 or better.
