How about handling "macro from clipboard" this way: Add a "Get Macro from Clipboard" command in Macros menu. Use this command to set the "macro from clipboard" as the current macro (just like what "Select this" command does). Now the clipboard change won't affect the current macro. Usage example: Record a macro. Edit to make it better. Ctrl+A (or select a part). Ctrl+C. Use "Get Macro from Clipboard" command. Now I can run the edited macro, without saving it. And it's better than just record-and-run-without-editing. This way, the "(Clipboard)" item in "Macro Temporary Options" dialog is not necessary. --------------- Alternative commands: Run Macro from Clipboard (directly) Run Macro from Selection (directly) Get Macro from Selection Maybe you could weigh them and choose the best solution.

Add for the above: With this command, we can run/test the "macro from clipboard" more conveniently. If we want to run it with the "Macro Temporary Options", then we open the dialog.

beta 4 (21.0.904) added the Run Clipboard Macro command.

Thank you for the "Run Clipboard Macro" command. Please also add the ability to set the clipboard macro as default.

"set the clipboard macro as default" could be misunderstanding. What I mean is: Manually save the clipboard content to the memory as the default macro. Then we can run the content as default. The clipboard changes will NOT change the default macro, unless we save it again.
