I am sure that this will be the simplest question here all day...

Just to make this script perfectly clear to me, let's say I want to make a routine that just presses enter 100 times, with a 2-second delay in between, after I press Win+enter once.

Does the script look like this?:

#{enter}::
Loop, 100
{
{enter}
Sleep, 2000
}



Also, is this all that goes in my .ahk file?

Thank you!

Thank you!

SetKeyDelay is one way, but IMO it's kinda beating around the bush. You don't have to modify your original code much, just put it in a send:

@ jonny
Wouldn't using a sleep affect the performance of other running threads?

If anything, it would improve the performance of any other running threads. Sleep takes up very few cycles. I'd imagine SetKeyDelay uses sleep internally anyway, but explicitly using it is a bit cleaner.
