how to slow down the hotstrinngs with a global command ?

[LGS666]

Hi all

I am intensively using hotstrings for correcting mispelled words , replace abbreviations etc.

I would like to record my screen a few minutes and send that film to a few colleagues in order to show them how useful hotstrings are.

To make it more "visual", I would like the hotstrings to work in slow motion for that demo.

I tried "sendmode Event" and "SetKeyDelay 200" as global commands but this only works on Send command, apparently not on hotstrings.

Some post in the forum says that it could work by adding these commands to every hotstring but I have dozens of them, but I would like to avoid such a tedious work just for a demo.

Any clue on how to do that with a global command ?

Thanks !

You might have SendMode, input[c/] at the top of your script and SetKeyDelay is not obeyed by SendInput so add or change SendMode to Event or Play and the SetKeyDelay should work.

You could also try to play the video at 0.5 speed (if the format / player allow it)

SetKeyDelay 200
::abc::
str := "long string here"
loop, parse, str
	Send % A_LoopField
return

" #Hotstring SE K80 " seems to work perfectly.
It was apparently that simple...
Thanks !!!
