[SEND ("text")] quicker?

[keotix]

is there a way to speed up autoit's typing?

its typing 1 letter at once (fast, but not enough for a game), can i make it so that it types a whole word in the time it takes to type one letter?

i seen someone use .ini to do somthing like this? but i dont know what exactly to do..

; Set the AutoIt delay options
Opt("SendKeyDelay", 0)
Opt("SendKeyDownDelay", 0)
;If 0 doesnt work, try 1
$TextIWantToSend = "DUN DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNN. DUN DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNN. DEDEDEDEDEDEDEDEDEDEDEDA."
ControlSend("Untitled", "", "Edit1", $TextIWantToSend)

Open up notepad, run the script, it will send the $TextIWantToSend really fast.

Anyway, just throw

Opt("SendKeyDelay", 0)

Opt("SendKeyDownDelay", 0)

Into your script and you should be set

_Send("Text")

Func _Send($aText)
$OldClip = ClipGet()
$NewClip = ClipPut($aText)
Send("^v")
ClipPut($OldClip)
EndFunc

Try this

_Send("Text")

Func _Send($aText)
$OldClip = ClipGet()
$NewClip = ClipPut($aText)
Send("^v")
ClipPut($OldClip)
EndFunc

That's an interesting solution. Could it have any drawbacks? If not, I'm going to use that instead of the slowish Send.

I like this approach and have used it alot with other scripting programs. But it depends on who is using it. Some folks object to scripts that alter the clipboard. E.g., folks running clipboard trackers end up with extra clipboard changes.

I meant in what aspects Send would be better than clipboard handling.

Sheri has a good point. Luckily my environment doesn't likely have any clipboard monitoring apps.

What u mean with changes?

I did add

$OldClip = ClipGet()
;Etc.
$ClipPut($OldClip)

Or Is it not THAT way u mean it?
