| I was the original poster - and I can certainly use it successfully with these changes. Occasional clitches are minor. Just FYI - I switched to AHK to replace Activewords (I was trying to remember the name earlier and could NOT for the life of me - then I got an email from them today.) Activewords w... |

| Look, I am a newbie to AHK, and just interested in basic scripts, not fancy windows programming, and I don't know the technical architecture of AHK or of programming an application like this in Windows, nor the philosophy behind AHK, BUT - I still think there should at least be an option to simply Q... |

| May be a new option to the BlockInput command ? BlockInput, on, Remember var During the BlockInput command, the keyboard input is recorded in the "var" variable and so can be send after if needed ??? BLOCKINPUT is a close fit to what I need, but I don't really want to lose the keystrokes ... Thanks... |

Well, it still fails if you just hold down the x key. I could not get it to fail by typing x's real fast, so it maybe good enough for normal typing - I will have to test that over the next few days.

| Well, I spoke too soon. None of those really prevent the situation. Just to test it, create this script: :*:xxx:: Process, Priority,,High Setbatchlines -1 setkeydelay -1 send yyyyyyy return Then hold down the x key. You should get a string of y's. You actually get varying numbers of y's with x's mix... |

Well, K-1 and Setbatchlines -1 did not seem to help, but setting the script process to high priority looks like it works - I have not been able to beat it yet!
Thanks again.

| Thanks for all the suggestions. There is a lot ot learn about Autohotkey. I had read about keydelay, but was confused originally about K0 vs K-1 - what was "the smallest possible delay"? Sounded like some Zen concept - or maybe quantum physics. Now, it seems obvious - I think once I found the longer... |

| Maybe I am missing something - I am new to hotkey - but I have a problem if I am busy typing away, and use one of my hotstrings. What happens is that the auto-replace characters get mixed in with anyrhing I type right AFTER the hotstring. Shouldn't autohotkey hold the new incoming key strokes until ... |
