Press Right *10 DOES NOT RESPECT SK_DELAY TIMING

[adroege]

I have noticed that when using the asterisk(*) to indicate a particular key press should be repeated, that the repeated keystrokes do NOT obey the SK_DELAY variable for timing. In my example I would expect the right arrow key to get pressed only once per second, for a total of 10 times. But it instead fires off the keystrokes almost instantaneously.

I believe this to be bug. (Or is this a feature for a reason I don't understand?)

Note: I am well aware of using SK_DELAY in combination with the Send> command. I am specifically addressing the "Press" commands in this issue.



Let>SK_DELAY=1000
SetFocus>Untitled - Notepad*
Press Right *10

looks like you are trying to get text from a file ? If so whynot get MS to read specific characters from the file, saving your computer from opening notepad and moving etc...

I noticed what you are talking about when trying to slow a macro down to allow other apps to keep up, I just put "presses" in multiples of 3 with waits all over the place.
