Hey.
Just a simple question, what is faster and more reliable if i have to input long line of text:
1. Using SendInput or other Send command with all the text afterwards, or
2. Assigning text to clipboard variable and then sending "Paste" key combination (Ctrl+V).
Thanks.

Pasting. Have a look at Clip() http://www.autohotkey.com/wiki/index.ph ... #Clipboard

Code:
F1::
StartTime := A_TickCount
Loop 500
   Test .= A_Index
Clipboard := Test
Send ^v
EndTime := (A_TickCount - StartTime) / 1000
Msgbox % StartTime " - " A_TickCount " = " EndTime " seconds"
Return
F2::
StartTime := A_TickCount
Loop 500
   Test .= A_Index
Send % Test
EndTime := (A_TickCount - StartTime) / 1000
Msgbox % StartTime " - " A_TickCount " = " EndTime " seconds"
Return


F1 : Instant (yes, really : 0ms)
F2 : 450ms (0,45s)

Thanks for answers, from now on i'll be using pasting.
But i have another question, it seems relative. Why ControlSend is so slow? You can see symbols appear one by one. Is there a way to make it faster?
