Setting a default wait time for {w}

#1 Post by expenseroso »

Is this possible? I couldn't find anything in the documentation. I know that custom tags are possible but in the documentation it mentions that {w} doesn't work with them. I suppose I could make a variable ww = "{w=1.0}" or something but I'd rather set a default if that's an option. If not, might I propose it as a config variable for a future version?

{w} without time specified has entirely different semantic: it waits until user clicks, not for some amount of time.

I'm aware. That's not a behavior I ever want in the middle of a line.
