I created a billing notation program for work. The users click the text box on their web browser of choice. It runs fine, but I was presented with a "issue." When the user hits a hot key or a button, the program does a Send($Text) depending on variables builds the $Text. One of the Users noticed that if he takes the focus out of the text box then it still sends the rest of $Text but now its just in the web browser and it throws them to where ever. Can't help that, 
what I was looking for, is there a way to get that $Text dumped in to the web text ox faster? I looked in to ControlSetText, the problem I have with that is, they could be running any web browser, and the title of the window varies for each technician's name... 
I also found http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/68422-hotstrings-string-hotkeys/
Which looks like it could work, but I couldn't pull it off and I didn't want to revive a 5 or 6 year old thread. If the general consensus is the hotStrings is worth me trying to rewrite for this version of AutoIt then I'll certainly try, and IF it works I'd share. Alternatively if it boils down to, sorry you need to wait for the program to finish running, then they have to wait. I posted the code here http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/151648-billing-notation-program/ If it helps...
