Speed


Use the Speed command to adjust the playback speed of keystrokes in a macro. It is sometimes possible for the keystrokes to be sent faster than the receiving application can process them.

 

The text string may overflow the Windows keyboard buffer by playing back large quantities of text too quickly. Some of the letters will end up scrambled or missing as a result. Slowing down the keystroke speed slightly, a 30 millisecond or so delay, will allow the text to play back correctly.

 

In some cases it may only be necessary to slow down part of the macro. In this situation place the speed command before the section of the macro that needs to be slowed down. Then place another speed command after the slowed down section of the macro with a delay set to "0" zero. The remainder of the macro resumes with no delays between keystrokes.

 

If the macro only types text, then using the clipboard option to paste the text may be a good solution. The text playback is much quicker. Select the Use Clipboard option on the Modify HotKey window to do this.
