Playerset: typing delay
Syntax
set typing delay to delayValue
Parameters
delayValue -- the delay between individual characters or other keystrokes
Result
true
Examples
set typing delay to 5 -- a small delay usually suffices
set typing delay to 0 -- maximum speed
set typing delay to default typing delay -- reset (new in 1.1)
Notes
- By default, Player includes a small delay (3) to prevent an application from inexplicably dropping (ignoring) characters typed by Player.
- This setting affects the type verb. It remains in effect until changed or until a reboot.
- Setting a typing delay will not pause a script; see the yield time verb.
- There is no way to alter the default (other than to execute this verb on startup).
- The delay units are approximately "ticks" (60ths of a second), though the value is not intended to be exact.
