Outgoing Keystrokes: Insert Delays

It would be great to be able to insert variable delays between outgoing keystrokes. This would allow powerful automation, and would solve the issue I have when certain menu dropdown windows don't open quickly enough to receive the next keystroke in the sequence.

Hi,

yes, a general delay for an outgoing action is a good idea.

Right now you can already do that with the Pro or Author version by using the timer feature:

instead of having this:

Translator: MIDI IN 90 40 pp -> Keystroke 'X'

use this:
Translator 1: MIDI IN 90 40 pp -> Timer "X-timer" with delay 500ms
Translator 2: Timer "X-Timer" -> Keystroke 'X'

Though, granted, it's more clumsy than a direct delay for the outgoing action.

Florian
