Shortcut doesnt repeat over 10 times

Bari · Post by **Bari** » Dec 21st, ’23, 22:09

Hi folks,

I'm not a programmer, but using fk to create a short combination of keyboard keys (including shift, alt ect.).

It works well, and i copy-pasted the combination in the shortcut textbox 10 times, so when i press "z", it will initiate the combination. Worked well as well, but when i copy-pasted the code 20 times it stopped responding.

I thought maybe i need to do something with the loop function? But i couldn't make it work as well

. My goal is to make the same combination a 100 times in one press.

Would appreciate your help on the matter,
Thanks so much in advance,

Bari

What you are doing should work, is your phrase very long?
Alternatively you can try a Loop macro:

Hi tom! Thanks for the link and your reply.
The combination is quite long, especially when it's repeated many times. Maybe there's some kind of limit to the text?

Anyway, i will try to follow the explanation of using the loop. Looks easy to follow. Will update.

Thank you

Bari

Hi again,

Just wanted to thank you.
The loop worked perfectly and improved my workflow tremendously.

Take care,
