there is a delay of 1000 miliseconds (=1 second) between the keystrokes. Practically this
means that first, the key "T" will be sent, after 1 second the key "h", after another 1 second
the letter "i" and so on.
3) Custom Delay Between Keystrokes: If you want to specify custom delays between
various keystrokes in the "Send Keys" action, WinAutomation allows you to do so with a special

extra 1 second delay between the "S" and "A" keystrokes. This means that there will be a 2
second delay between the first and the second keystrokes, and a 1 second delay between the
rest.
