Obviously I can replicate this with a for loop typing a single key at a time, but that seems wasteful lol.
If you're using AutoHotkey v2, you'll have to change the send mode in order to see the effect of the key_delay
parameter take place properly. Keep in mind, AutoHotkey v2 uses Input
as its default SendMode. As noted in the SetKeyDelay documentation, key delay has no effect when the SendMode is Input
.
Try the following, which sets the send mode to Event
, which will allow the key delay to take effect:
from ahk import AHK
ahk = AHK(version='v2')
ahk.send('anything', key_delay=50, send_mode='Event')
# OR
ahk.set_send_mode('Event')
ahk.send('anything', key_delay=50)
When using AutoHotkey v1, this isn't necessary since Event
is the default send mode in v1.
Using key delay with .type
is, incidentally, not currently supported because it uses SendInput
as its implementation (and, as discussed, Input
send mode does not support this).
Checked the documentation

I want AHK to type (not send) emails and passwords for example into a window. Trying to set the key_delay for this isn't working: ahk.type(account.email,key_delay=50)
